To timw4: If you are still reading this thread, I have a bit more to add to my input here. I really don't think that the USB will work with Mach 3. The driver for the signal path to the machine controller box is for a parallel port. There is no mention about USB in the setup. I did buy a USB to parallel interface converter to try using my laptop. It is an active converter not just a cable adaptor. I haven't yet tried to use it for my 3020 since I bought another (older) computer to use that has a parallel port. Now I don't think I will try the USB to parallel converter since I don't have a clue as to how to get the driver to talk via USB.
I hope you have had better luck with your machine since your last post. I really like using mine.
Regards, Tom
