A very old thread, but has anyone heard of this being done? I've just spent days trying to get the software for a 98-Z to run, and it is very unstable on my PC. No software updates are available for this plasma table from PlasmaCAM. They still have parts, but don't support it in the newer software.
I'm so frustrated with it I'm considering ripping out their control box, and going au-natural.... Two DC motors with encoders, one stepper, and four limit switches (X, Y, Z-up, Z-down). That's it.
