Pat yourself on the back you have the pendrive

Ok you have linuxcnc loaded but what you have there is the sim. you have Linuxcnc but the error is showing that the pc might have to be setup by changing some setting in the bios

Now find the wizard and use stepconf to make a real working config.

are you going to use a P/port ?

See my post with the link to stepconf

OK so I have been otherwise engaged for a day or two but looks like Boris is giving me some time on my hands .
I have been using Mach and UCCNC with the UC100controller ( I was led to believe it was needed for Mach 3 to run on 64bit machine )
Is it OK to use it with linux or am I better to use just a straight parallel lead .

I will see if I can get into the the stepconfig stuff but dont be be surprised if I come back screaming for help and looking for someone to hold my hand.

I don't know anything about UC100 controller. I don't think it will work with linuxcnc as Lcnc is a controller.

Also you can not use Lcnc to control a machine through the USB port.

So you can use a P/port or a Mesa card or Pico.

Have you got Lcnc up and running and found the stepconf wizard ?
