Wow! Wish I'd known that hours ago. I certainly do have the old computer in tact. I'm wondering though-- now that I've tweaked all the settings in Mach on the new computer-- must I download a fresh copy and then put in the xml?

Okay. Just one more thing though to make sure I understand-- You're saying that my port address is cool. Right?

yes, should be fine, as long as your last computer had a standard address
but even if it didnt its easy to change once you have loaded your old xml.

If you are using the standard Mach3Mill profile, ie you clcik on the Mach3Mill Icon on the desktop to open Mach then you want the one in the middle, Mach3Mill.xml.
 If you have a custom profile set up then you want that one, eg I have one called HoodTurn for my lathe so its the HoodTurn.xml I need.

Okay. I guess that would be the Sound Logic M3 file. I only just now noticed you're in Scotland. I was in Edinburgh (while in the Navy) in 1964. Went to the castle. Want to return before I die.
