    Mach3 windows 7 64bit LPT PORT - BOB not working?

    Hi all,

    I have finally got my breakout board, plugged it in but i cant seem to get my board recognized by my computer? anyone else have this issue?

    Board is a HY-JK02-M

    Should of said that i am aware of the lpt error on 64 bit, but too tight to buy a smooth-stepper. Or do i need to reinstall windows as 32bit?

    Cheers Ryan

    Mrgame1988,

    Unfortunately the Mach3 LPT port driver only works with 32 bit Windows.

    Will Mach 4 work with the PP plug in?
    A lazy man does it twice.

    Only on 32 bit versions of Windows 7 or older.
