NCStudio to Mach3 question for a chinese 3020 router
	
	
		I'm sick of NCstudio screwing up all the time, its a pain in the arse at the m moment. I have managed to download a copy of it as I haven't clue what happened to the original disk. So I'll attempt a fresh install and see what happens.
Now I know theres a breakout board convertion but I'm no technical enough to attempt it, could I just buy a full Mach3 controller and plug and play ?

 Nope unfortunately not but it's not rocket science if it's just a case of adding breakout board.! . . . What machine is it.?

Its looks quite popular , lots of them being sold. I like the idea of USB and that Ii can use a laptop because NCstudio only runs on XP and the PC I have it on is dieing of old age
