Anyone running a CNCshark with Mach3?

I believe it is using an NCpod which should be no problem to run with Mach.

Hi Greg,

I thought the CNCshark was USB driven.
If you can you get access to the driver card for parallel connection then I think it would be possible to drive the machine from Mach3.

Yes it is USB driven.

As far as I know it is using an NCpod.  Mach has a plugin for that.

In theory it should just be a matter of plug it in and go. I have used NCpod in the past.

Just wondered if any body was doing it.
