Shot thanks a million!!!!
I’ll try the 32-bit option for now (time not on my side) but will upgrade to an
External controller soon.

Thanks for the advice let me get to Win7-32

Cheers!

Jip it is 64 bit.
If I run driver test
It gives a splash screen with
“No Driver Sensed installed. Run Driver Test”
If I hit OK
It does nothing.

The 1st time I ran driver test I got the following
LPT1 &H 901 00000
LPT2 &H 3480
LPT3 &H 61

Not sure what to do with it?

Hi all?
New to the forum but not to Mach3
Been using for many years on small CNC but old Laptop with parallel port died on me
I put together a Intel machine running Win7 Ultimate and fitted  a PCI - parallel port from MosChip
Win7 are good with the port but not Mach-3 (it seems)
My Mach3 ver V3.043.052 registered to me
My Win7 port 1008-100F and 1000-1007 in device manager.
I’ve put port #1  to “0x1008” in M3 ports & pins
I’ved setup pins to my macine pins motors and estop
Yet I get no satisfaction - also when I install Mach3 it says it cant see the port I must run driver test

Can anybody help please?
