Thanks Peter. That was the link I was looking for. We have had
several requests from people with the older dos/phase technology
looking for an upgrade path to windows (lot's of Max's and also
several Taig). DeskCNC has so many CAM functions in addition to the
basic controller that is is popular with those that want a single
Windows-PC solution to programming and control.

It looks like it should be fairly easy to put the DeskCNC controller
in the Taig case, along with your converter board. Any chance you
have a picture from someone that has accomplished that?
