Thanks, Brett

The only other information I have is

3-axis drive rack Part No 9996200-003
OptiStep PCPlus motion card Part No 90002000-005
Stepper Motors are Part No 3054211501

with the website that you already know.

I have no other information except to say that MK have not been very helpful when I've needed help or advice.

Mach3 sounds the way for me to go but I'm worried that I have neither the time nor the ability to get it up and running successfully.

Thanks for the help.

Regards.

Don

Hi Brett

Thanks for offering to help.

I've got a Bridgeport Mill run by MicroKinetics DriveRack high performance power driver, an OptiStep Plus-PC motion controller, 3 x 42M1150D Stepper motors and Millmaster Pro 4.2 software.

I bought the uprated MK program to run on Windows XP - which MK assured me would run it - but they failed to tell me I'd have to change my motion controller card so I'm still having to use Win98.

I'd appreciate any help available so that I can get away from MK software.

Regards.

Don

Hi

I'm in the same situation as you: I have MicroKinetics and want to change to Mach 3 but am not sure if it will work.  Did you ever get any help or manage to get it working?

Thanks.

Don
