Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: help with g201 needed

Hi Ed,

Problem with that route is that I'm using a Toshiba notebook to run the
software. That's why I used the keyboard port to get the +5vdc. I also
have a cable so that if I want to I can use the joystick port on a desktop
computer. This way I can use whatever computer I have available without
having to modify the computer. My website has the wiring diagram I used,
follow the SHOP and MACHINE TOOLS links.
