Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Can I drip feed a bridgeport boss 5

Brady,

I do have a program and pin out from parallel port
to drip feed to the Boss5. I am told that
this program needs to run a 286 PC since it handles
the parallel port instructions different than the newer mother
boards do. I have not gotten it to work consistently
yet, nor have I spend a lot of time trying to do so.
I did get it to talk one day but never got it to work very well.
The guy I got it from uses it all the time running programs
for 6-8 hours. It was written by a friend of his in basic. However,
this man died shortly after it was finished and he never did get the
source code.
If you would like, I can find all the info I have on it and email
it to you off line. Maybe you and find out
what I am doing wrong!!??

Luke
