Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RS-232 motion control card

AFAIK, BobCAD does output the pulses to your drives regardless of what port
you use. It is a CAD/CAM program and generates the G-code for a controller
program. I would suggest you take a look at TurboCNC, Master5/Mach1, EMC,
CNCPro as these are all controller programs that take the G-code output of
BobCAD and use it to control the drives through the parallel port.
