Other then trouble with the M96 the attached document shows how to interface to the new Haas NexGen lathe. I hope they will fix the M96 problem, so it will work. You will also need plugs to attach to the P8 and P62 sockets on the Haas I/O Board. They can be ordered from most electronic vendors online. The plug part number is 50-57-9404, you will need 2 of them. The pins for the plugs are part number 16-02-0069, and you will need 4 of them.

I hope this helps.
