It works reliably, but it takes longer to upload most files than it does to cut them. I tried faster speeds, but the mill gave me an error of wrong parity, then the control software crashed back to dos. Any one have any ideas how to speed up the file transfer process?
Secondly, I have been looking in my black box, is there an ide connection on the main board, I havent had any luck in finding it? I did find an un- connected eithernet port, has anyone had luck with using it? I need to find a better way to transfer large files.
