Parallel ports problems

Don't bother changing to 64bit OS because Mach3 PP driver won't work with it. 32bit only.

Duh ! Of course. I forgot that, probably because I have been up till 2 AM farting about with my own machine, replacing the BoB after the last one 'failed to proceed'. In the process of doing that I checked out the wiring and eventually found a broken earth wire that was causing all sorts of faults.

Dean - if you want a laugh - I was using the continuity test buzzer on my multimeter and getting annoyed that I couldn't find continuity on circuits I thought were OK. Then I realised that my multimeter had auto shut down.

If you want another laugh - I am replacing a BoB, when I have a CSMIO IP-S new in a box on the shelf (destined for a better machine than this MD THING.


Cheers,

Won't laugh because I've got one that does the bloody same.!!. . . To be honest can't believe it's still alive because I've obliterated tools for less. . .Lol

So, it's not just me, then?
