I have a desktop Boxford cnc 125ctl lathe that ran from a old BBC computer.it has a ribbon cable coming from the lathe.how do I connect the machine to a pc.plus software so I can see position of the X and Z and run the machine. the BBC computer is missing.
about being cheap how cheap is £0 the boxford was rescued from a school skip and all is working ,spindle,jog etc.
many thanks in advance.
