    Cool D&M resurection

    I picked up a D&M4s mill. It's controller was dead. Turns out the bios has reset it's self due to a dead battery so it won't look to the floppy drive to boot. Any body knowe what those bios settings should be?

    I'd like to bring it back to stock but I'm wondering if that is really just a waste of time and I should just upgrade to a mach2 OR???

    Mach it, you can still use your existing stepper drivers.

    Check for a 4 pin connector with a red, black, brown & orange wire for the stepper driver input connector. The brown and orange are your step & direction inputs.

    supply voltage

    Does any know what the supply voltage is us supposed to be going to the actual stepper driver boards on the D&M4? I get 1.8V which seems really low for a 42V supply. Voltage is good on the input side of the regulator board.
