Hello Dazz Yes I have a copy of the software mine is a boxford 160 but as far as I am aware they all use the same controls the program is very basic and slow but if you look on this website and locate suffolkclocks posts by going to member list he is on about page 399 he posted information about connecting into the control board and then connecting via a breakout board to the parallel port of a pc and using software such as mach 2 or turbocnc a friend of mine has tried this and it worked quite well I also have a spare set of boards for a machine with the toolchanger if you are interested give me a ring on 01159389014 Nottingham where abouts are you located cheers for now Colin1544.
