Mach4 was written entirely from scratch so is basically a different software package altogether.
Think of it like- one is Windows the other is Linux. Incompatible.
Anyway. Mach3 bugs vary from pc to pc so you can't really 'list' them.
Like my WinXP pc ran it faultless for years, Win7 had random glitches. Both run on parallel port, both installed on the same actual pc!!!?!
That's why I always said XP is best for Mach3 on pport. It's basic, it's small, and not bloated full of crap!!!. Not much chance of driver conflicts.
The OS doesn't really matter if you use a network based controller.
you answer my curiosity about XP and Win7 with PP.
The best way to learn is trial error.
