Thanks John,
Yes, I see that I needed to get the correct pin orders. Makes all the difference. Got it working now. Thanks,
Dwight

Awrite! BIOS and properties list the port as 378. So that is what I used in Ports and Pins. I think I can scounge up an old parallel printer to see if that works with it.
Thanks Hood,

Hi,
I have a new (to me) 10 year old Wolverine II mill; 36v, 3A, 1/4 step, SS drivers that came with a computer running Master5. I would like to upgrade to Mach3 and have a computer that meets the specifications for Mach3, WinXP. The demo is installed and for practice runs it seems to work fine. I went through the setup instructions to the point where it says to connect the cable to the parallel port. But I get no response from the mill. I know the mill works because it works with the old computer and Master 5. I feel like there is a setting I have missed somewhere. Does anybody have ideas for me?
Thanks so much, looking forward to getting to know some folks here.
Dwight
