Hi Bill, Thanks! Last night, I was able to take an old laptop that I had tried to use (unsusccessfully) years ago to successfully run the DOS-based MaxNC software and (after about 90 minutes of tweaking) have it move the X/Y/Z axes. (Wow, I had forgotten how "primitive" those programs were!) So the first hurdle of making sure everything is functioning is done!
I just managed to download the liveCD image last night, but realized I don't have a CDR to burn it to; so that's next on my list. Thanks, Joseph On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 6:15 AM, Bill K. <[email protected]> wrote: > On 4/9/2012 5:57 PM, Joseph Chiu wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I have an old Max-NC 10 (called Max-NC OL these days) that I used to >> run on a DOS-based PC about a decade ago.
