Got my issue all ironed out , simply put the SS board inside the computer cabinet at the front of the lathe , wired it to an internal USB on the motherboard , mounted the two DB25 connectors and ran 2qty 12' printer cables back to my BOB at the back of the lathe and it seems to be running like a top. Dont know why I didnt think to just move the SS into the computer case 4-5 days ago , would have been much easier since i already had the printer cables routed anyway
