Ok, Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Basic synopsis: I bought a Denford Micromill which came with a PC and Mach 3. This is my 1st machine, never having dabbled in this field before. I saw it working. I used it myself and it worked.

Then, I made a mistake with updating when no updating was needed, but, at the same time, the hard drive on the PC died.

I got another PC, downloaded Mach 3, and a vista driver, and installed it. Software fired up.

Except I cant get Mach and the machine to talk to each other. I spent a couple of hours today trying to configure mach, like hotkeys etc, but to be honest, I have not a clue about input/output pins and drives and whatever. No matter what I tried, nothing worked.

So, I really need a Guide for complete Muppets, or a complete rundown on components and a how to on rigging up for something like a DDCSV2.1 or similar.

Help greatly appreciated, may thanks in advance.
