Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the swift reply.
Mine is an 1985 model with North East Electronics interface. I use
Dolphin CadCam for programming so the extra control characters may
not be a problem if I can figure out how to get them into a post-
processor (not my strong point). Do you have any details on wiring
the plugs and how to set the software? Any help would be much
appreciated.

Thanks, Martin.

PS have you tried TurboCNC? I'm thinking of using it with a Denford
Starturn lathe and am interested in your views.
