what cable are you using on your multi
Hello...I have a circa 1988 bridgeport EZ-trak 2 axis knee mill. Has any had any sucess linking this older control to any cad/cam softwares out there. As it is now i cannot even save programs. Was trying trial version of Multi-DNC software but could not get the control to communicate with the PC. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I tried both a null modem and staight thru 25 to 9 pin cable. Does anyone know if the EZ-TRAK RS232 port is custom for machine?
on the pc side try your 9 pin wiring 2,3 & 7 on the machine side 2 & 3 then jump 4 & 5 then 7 then jump 6 & 8 then jump from 8 to 20 that is for fanuc and i think the EZ is the same

Geno;
Do you by chance have any documentation on the installation of the motor mounts and the z-axis drive for the EZ track. I purchased the mechanical system only for installation on my bridgeport and cannot locate any pictures or documentation of the installation. Any help will be appreciated.
Thx.
Bill

Bill, The EZ-Trak I'm using is only a 2 Axis machine. The Z has a glass scale but is strictly manual.
Hey Geno,
have you got your EZ track going yet

Geno,
Follow this thread. I have the same control as you, but I didn't know these were made before 1990.

Mine works great with this setup.

Hey DC (or others) would you mind sharing exactly what your set up is? I'm trying to get the basic EZ-Trak to communicate with a software called multi-DNC. We're still at the trial period stage and can use something else if necessary.
