Re: Mach3 on computer with Parallel port & windows 10.

All cnc should be isolated and used for cnc only. I'm an auto service tech by day. I see other shops jacking up there alignment machines all the time due to running them on a network to play games or whatever. Dumb. Leave these pcs dedicated for there intended use only. Cnc no different. Win xp works great as a dedicated controller. I have several machines running mach 3 for many years.?

I agree with Tony on this one. Two machines one on XP and the other on W7. Not connected to anything else.

XP may be obsolete, but it was working just fine before your old PC died.? If you’re only going to run Mach3 on the new one (and you should be) what exactly is Win10 going to give you?

I run Win7 & Mach3 on an old Dell, works fine.? I don’t use that machine for anything else.

Hey Steve, if I go the route of the ucc-100 dongle, is there any other changes I need to make or be aware of. I’m loudly like to stay with windows 10 if possible, just for the fact XP & 7 are obsolete already & 10 have a little more support left in it. I found this on amazon…
