Recently I purchased an older cam tech *non operational router ( purely because the purchase cost was less than building my own motion system)

The machine came complete but the controller is dated. And needs upgrades. My Neighborhood pc repair folks aren't sure if the old controller will even boot!

In addition I have a newer pc with Mach 3 installed.

Thinking about retrofitting the older machine to Mach control

Thoughts?

Fwiw the cam tech machine is full rack and pinion with two steppers driving the x axis
