CNC PRO vs Mach 3   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1872 of 1902 |
I am so far resisting the idea of switching to Mach 3. The CNC Pro
controller works so well. My biggest motivation for switching to Mach
3 is having to use floppies to get my gcode into my controller
computer. Does anyone have a USB under DOS method that works well and
isn't too complicated to get working?
