I haven’t had a problem for many years running it on this same laptop.
I am currently trying to find another computer with a parallel port connection to see if I can get any joy that way.?
Thanks for your input,
Chuck

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.

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?
