    Newbie blues!

    I have just started rediscovering the delights of CNC after 25 years away from school!

    I have just bought a CNC micro mill that was fitted with an smc 800 control card, I just coludn't get it to work properly with any of the software that I could find sadly.

    Undeterred I purchased a cheap 5 axis (well you never know!) chinese bob/driver card and Mach 3, but now I cant seem to get M3 to output or recognise input to/from my PCI based printer port.
    Help me please!
