I just traded a 3040 CNC for a 1990s MINITECH MINI MILL. I used the same older DELL PC. That has a parallel port. I was using MACH 3 on the 3040. Went with LINUXCNC this time. As I was able to aquire the .cfg file with all of the parameters filled in.

Nice Little machine. The only drawback is that you'll want more power and speed soon.
This is great. I have been trying to get one of these running for a local middle-school. The software was toast so I got LinuxCNC installed. I have not had any luck with the configuration files. Any chance you can share them? Also, have your stepper motors been getting hot? Not sure if it is settings or over-voltage. The power supply that it came with (stock from MiniTech) is putting out 13.81 V. Thanks in advance.
