I'm in the process of setting up a new X3 cnc mill, and have been reading through the Mach3 software I have. I had planned on using my laptop to run Mach3, but from what Ive gathered I will not be able to, as it does not have a parallel port to connect to the breakout board. Mach3 specifically says usb to parallel adaptors do NOT work for this either.
Will I have to buy a new cheap desktop pc with a parallel port/ or a parallel port card to install on the mobo, or is there something else I can do?
