The older 32 bit PC running WinXP and controlling my KX1 via the parallel port gave up the ghost at the end of last year. I decided to investigate upgrading to a more modern interface and purchased a Pokeys57CNCdb25 to do the job only to find that it was not suitable since it could not control the spindle which requires a step and direction pair. This was confirmed by PoLabs.
Once bitten, twice shy, I've been digging around on the web to find out what alternatives might work and that has raised some questions on other controllers. So I'm looking for advice on the best way to go from someone who has done it successfully, or who knows of a successful installation.
Jim.
