Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] MAXNC problem

On some versions of Maxnc, Otto used pin 11 for a manual press switch to
indicate a tool change. Look at the file pinassign.txt for the pin outs
altho this may be screwed up also. The newer version of maxnc delx S-D
doesn't rquire a switch but rquires you to press the space bar to confirm
the tool change was made. You can check this off line by pulling pin 11 of
the db25 low
