I tested it out with the program running but without switching the machine on,
and it still quits working after a few mins, so no noise from the steppers.
working in Dos or the Bios is no problem, I've been looking for hours on end in the Bios
to try diff stuff and all the time the keyboard works !!
I have another older Comp also with PCNC, that I'm using now, and it works perfectly.
installed the same way, the only diff is the older keyboard plug it uses.
so thats the only diff between the two PC's now
I wan't to use the newer PC as it is faster and has USB, so I can use a memory stick
to load the files via Win.
thanks for the help so far guys
BTW this is the project I'm working on now.
