Re: MODIO
Hi Andy,
I can certainly move it to C:\. I think that's where it is on my WIN-XP MACH3 JGRO CNC router which uses the PMDX-125 and a USB Smooth Stepper.

Re: MODIO
I've been able to move a bit further but I'm having a MACH3/WIN-7 issue too. I was editing files like the macropump.m1s and not seeing anything happen on the test system. After a bit of research and
