hi there.
My old school had one of these, sat in the corner doing nothing for many years...
I have a friend who works there now, so i thought i would go in and try to use it.
from what i can see, it doesn't use a standard parallel port, it has an addon card with more pins than the standard parallel port. i didn't look too closely.
when I booted the controlling computer (running windows 9x) it had milling software which allowed me to control the mill functions (via the keyboard) but I couldn't get the lathe to spin.
thanks for pointing out that site, they have some demo software which might help me.

I was thinking about using EMC to control it. but i doubt it is supported (being a rare Australian machine with a specialized interface card)
