I am now using a newer PC running Windows XP and Mach3 alone to operate the plasma gantry and cutter. The Parallel port has replaced that antique card that connected the PC to the SuperDrive power supply/motion controller box. This weekend I will get some pictures and a schematic of what I changed posted. I am sure we can't be the only two with these older setups that would like to upgrade without spending a fortune.
I have this setup, did you ever post the pics and schematics for this?
thanks

I also am trying to use Mach3 to be able to run my antique Torchmate plasma table.
Did anyone ever post pictures on how they wired up to their MicroKenetics Optistep Plus driver so Mach3 will run it?
5 volt rewire?
