Hi Lance,

Thanks for your responses. It all sounds fairly simple - how odd! Would Windows 95/98 be classified as a plug-and-play version? I use Windows 95 at the moment for my mill, as I need the DOS prompt for TurboCNC.

I have no idea what benefits the PCI cards have over ISA cards, but I do know that ISA cards are much cheaper than PCI cards - oh well...

I probably won't be doing this for a while, as I have no need for it yet, but I'm thinking about my next machine which is probably going to be a big step up in complexity compared to my mill (first machine). I'm also using a laptop at the moment, so I'll probably have to get a normal PC for the next machine (which is fine). At least I now know that what I had in mind is possible.

Thanks again
Warren
