Hi Burf86,
My suggestion is that you get your existing T-D controller running correctly with Mach3 before embarking on buying new stuff. You will, however, need a 32bit PC with parallel port (not laptop) and the LPT port must output the 5 Volt TTL standard not the newer 3.3 Volt TTL standard. WinXP would be a good OS to use.
Unfortunately such computers are now becoming rare and perhaps hard to get.
If you attach your <your profile> .xml file (Typically Mach3Mill.xml) found in your Mach3 folder (you need to rename it to burf.xml as all attachments require a unique name) this file contains all your settings and we can check them and hopefully advise on any settings that may need to be changed.
Tweakie.
