Re: CNC Lathe controlled with OLD! PC, can I change the PC and SOFTWARE??
There are a few ways you can go, the PC you have is a ISA bus now legacy items, I would guess the DB44 is on a I/O card from one of the popular manuf of the time, if so it is ISA bus oriented and will not work with a later P.C.
You may want to look at Mach3, Linux or kanalog for a new system.
What type/make of motors and drives do you have? What was the old control s/w called?
