Re: Maxpro software

Alan,
I have been trying to use the 25 pin port. The pin out documentation
that came with the software only mentions 25 pins! The Maxnc
145onz/in
retrofit kit I purchased just over 2 years ago has a 25 pin port on
the controller and I connected it to the printer port on my computer
which was also 25 pin and it worked perfectlyfirst time! None of the
old computers I was using or intend to use have 36 pin ports.
I'm confused, Terry
