Hi Art,group, Well I finally did it, both pentium 2/266 and amd /k6/450 run mach1 and master 5 on the same machine. I connected the 266 to the Geckos on my...
Hi Bob, Are you using Pac Sci motors? Sounds like rewrite of my saga. I can run other controller (DOS based) sftware and I typically don't have the "cement...

Hi Art, list. A couple of days ago I downloaded the 1.09 and installed on a PII-350 with WinXP. I didn't really expect it to run on such a slow computer but it...
Hi: I don't think its the motors ,but the controllers. At any rate I will create a long pulse Master5 driver and put it in the files section in case it helps...

Henrik, No, the pins are ok - actually, reversing them was one of the first things I tried - and resulted in no motion of any sort. BTW Didn't mean to imply...
