Hi,
yes I know, probably not very polite....it still makes me laugh though.
Be warned that Mach4 is a new program and many report a steep learning curve. There is a parallel port option for Mcah4, at a cost, $25 but it is not and will
not be fully featured. This means you will require an external motion controller to use Mach4 effectively.
Mach4 $200
ESS $190
2 X C10 BoBs $46
Note the ESS is just my suggestion, there are others, some a little cheaper and others quite a bit dearer. Likewise the two C10 BoBs were my choice, there are others.
I mentioned them because they are about middle of the road price wise....if you want Mach4 you will have to part with some money. I did so about 18 months ago and
I think Mach4 is great.
