Some reason my old laptop will not work well with Mach3. I need a desktop computer that has the parallel printer port built in. At least 512gb to 1gb of RAM .Good VGA and HD. I have a CD/RW with DVD that I can put in it.If anyone has one please let me know the price if any. Thank You.
Hi Gary .......... Sorry the Laptop didnt work out for you. Have you tried looking at your local Craigs list ? your local flea markets , yard sales, Im finding old desktops at work in the dumpsters all the time . the computer i use to run my machine came from dumpster diving..... an old dell Hey you could call your local University's Thrift shop ! all the schools have them . they are always upgrading there computers. I just cant Believe you cant find something local for Free or close to nothing. Good luck my Friend
I bought my computer on eBay. It's an old Dell. It's compact and works a treat. It's dedicated to the CNC and is not connected to anything else. It runs on XP and Mach3 is perfectly at home in it. I think I paid $70 or so. It's similar to this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-OPTIPL...0924360057?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item4864893979
