I've read this thread and in fairness I don't think Magicniner was saying anything untoward. It is true that Mach3 advises against using laptops as they can cause instability.That doesn't mean it will definitely fail, but it might.

BTW, I use a laptop and USB with absolutely no problems, but then I am not using Mach3. I use Kflop with KmotionCNC.

I have no access to write to your profile, has someone edited your profile?
If so you should report it to admin immediately as administrative access is required to do that!

I am afraid that you will not get answers with an attitude like this. The only question I see in the above is you asking if the screen shot looks good and then you expect people to re read your posts to find out what and where the problem is without you bothering to find the post No. yourself.

I did send you some links to vids and the manual for Mach3 but you don't appear to want to help yourself.

I suggest that you read your thread from the beginning again and reevaluate what you have said.

Clive,
You are entirely correct, I'm just trying to get the relevant info all in one short space.
Reading through I can't see where it is explicitly stated how the board is connected to the laptop.
Enabling the laptop's built in parallel port is mentioned, I assume from this that a fully wired parallel cable is being used to connect to the parallel port on the laptop as the USB to parallel cable mentioned in the manual will not work with Mach3 unless a hardware specific Plugin is installed and Mach3 would not then need a conventional parallel port to be present in order to work.
