    I think you mean parallel port? Mach will not run under the 64 bit operating system. The parallel port drivers for Mach are 32bit only.

    Get a PC with a 32bit OS, or buy a device like a Smoothstepper, which will work with Mach3 and your OS.

    What brand of computer do you have, they are not all equal

    Mach3 runs with no problems on windows7 using 64bit,with the right computer, but you will need a U100 or a smooth stepper to make the conection from your computer to the Breakout board you are using, USB for the U100 & Ethernet for the smooth stepper
