    Boxford VMC190 Conversion Information Wanted

    Hi All,

    I am new to this site and was wondering if any body has converted a Boxford VMC to Mach3.

    I have been offered one but have not purchased it yet as it has no software or licence.

    Any advice would be helpful.

    Hi Excuse a newbie but I have a vmc190 with software but find it very limited and want to strip out the boxford electronics and install a standard contoller to use with standard software instead of the Boxford software.

    Hello, I have just picked up this msge from 2010, and wandered if you wouldn't mind helping me out with a bit of advice on converting my Boxford 190VMC to Mach3
    control.
    I actually have the Boxford software, which someone gave me a couple of years ago, but I never managed to get it to talk to the machine so I guess it is disabled in some way.
