Thread: 3040 parallel port to USB

Hi all, I would like to know if anyone knows the answer to a concern with my 3040 machine.
First of all it’s a 3040T-DQ 3D which I have hardly used and it’s sat around for years until now, I had it running using the LPT1 parallel port and my Mach3 licensed version but now those computers are long gone I thought I would resurrect this machine for small bits as I was quite good for this.
This machine also has next to the parallel port a USB type B you know the square port used on printers and I have a Mach3 USB disc which I have used with my mill, large router and lathe, but I can’t seem to get it to work with this machine.
It has a JP328C board I have had it working with my Windows 10 64bit laptop using the Planet CNC USB software via the USB cable and it runs fine but I only have 25 lines of data and I really want to run it on Mach3 as it makes life easier.
Although I have the Planet CNC installation disk I don’t seem to be able to find the equivalent RnR driver as used on my Mach3 machines fitted with the Mach3 USB breakout board.
Any assistance will be welcome.
Many thanks
