Mike,

That was my thought At first, then I remembered this little guy doesn’t have any limit switches on it. ?

?

I’m wondering if something could’ve happened to the parallel port itself within the laptop computer.?

?

I say this because I tried two different control boxes and it made no difference.

?

Thanks for your input,

Chuck

I have a TAIG desktop Mill with a PMDX – 122 motion control board that utilizes a parallel port.

The machine has always run without problem and in the middle of a 15 minute milling job it stopped about halfway and I cannot get the machine to respond no matter what I try.

I even replaced the control box, which I had a spare, that ?included the?PMDX -122 motion control, and Gecko drivers, and that did not help.

anybody have any ideas what could’ve caused this?

Thanks,

Chuck
