Looking for a little advice. I have drivers and motherboard ect. ready to go for my bridgeport series 2. what i am doing is using bobcad and mach 3 for this machine. so my question is we were going to use a 20 pin? printer type cable to do this.(obviously an older system that would use that cable to go between system and pc.) but i am considering buying a new computer so that it will have much more capabilities.my question is what other options are there to get the system to communicate since those cable ate a bit antiquated. bear in mind i am learning all this so i am not so tech savvy (iow need the special needs explanation) i am trying to find the most effective way to do this. Thank you guys so much for your advice-Andy
