Problem with transfer to new PC

Post by Richard Evans » Mon 15 Dec , 2014 23:05 pm

My Triac (excellent machine) runs on Mach 3. I have transfered Mach 3 to a different PC- the old one is a bit unreliable. All settings and options have transfered correctly and programs will run except that the spindle won't turn. Going back to the old PC (using same parallel cable) fixes the problem, spindle runs fine.
With the new PC, I can hear a relay click when I press the spindle button, but that's all.
I can't see any difference at all in the various configuration settings, so what have I missed?
Thanks!
Richard
