TCL 160 boxford lathe connectivity

[Warden5]

Mine works with a USB to 9 pin serial converter which is then connected to a 9 pin to 25 pin plug that fits the machine, it wouldn't work on USB to 25pin.
I was told by Boxford that it needed it and that it should be a good quality one !
I bought a mid-priced one and it works ok (at the time of this being typed)
Good luck
