General Mach Discussion / Please help
« on: December 19, 2020, 10:03:32 PM »
Hi all,
Had Mach 3 for years - with no issues. Lately my old XP pc has gone to a better life. I know now that Mach3 cannot run on win10 and any 64 bit system.
My CNC controller is a home built HobbyCnc one, working on the Parallel port.
Since I have not operated my machine for some time now - I really have no idea what are my options here:
Should I get another Win XP PC ?
Is there any workaround that will allow me to run Mach 3 on a win10 PC ?
Is there any gadget out there which will allow me to switch from LPT to USB and work on win 10 or Win7 with 64 bit?
Many thanks in advance.
Isaac
