Question:
I've heard allot lately about Mach 3 not liking addon PCI Parallel Port cards for some reason. I got an email from the tech support guy at Mach 3 and he told me this was not true at all, and that the card just needed to have ECP/EPP compatibilities. Also, I've read on this forum that there is also a problem with running mach 3 on a 64 bit system because the Parallel drivers dont work.
Is this a myth, or true. Anyone have experience?
talked to Ahren at CRP and he recommended the smooth stepper. I'm all for it, but with a $200 price tag I'll need to evaluate if the PCI expansion Parallel card is an option to keep build costs down.
Thanks,
Chuck
