If the old computer still works, you should be able to run it with Mach3, which has a parallel port driver. If you're getting rid of the old controller, I'd suggest getting a Geckorive G-540; the 25-pin cable will go straight into it from the computer.

I'm trying to get it to work. First off was getting the keyboard repaired as some keys were stuck down. Having fixed that I am now getting an "I/O conflict 378" which I don't understand. I've tried with the controller disconnected and plugged into the parallel port both turned on and off which made no difference.

I'm working on getting the old PC up and running, so far stuck with I/O conflict 378.

... IF, the bios has been reset I bet you have to change one or more of interrupts to factory settings to fix the conflict...Want ever they were or should be.
