Get either an Ethernet Smoothstepper, a UC400ETH, or a UC300ETH motion controller.
Just plug the cable that went to your parallel port into the controller.
You don't really want a USB controller, the ethernet ones are much better.
I have owned a KT-2514 for a while but have always been hobbled with all sorts of instability and obsolescence issues with the parallel port.
I have decided to move on to Mach4 and to connect the KT-2514 with my Dell T7500 running Windows 10 Pro.
I need help with identifying what hardware to buy; Is it possible to get something based on USB 2 or USB 3? Could I get something to replace the control box or am I stuck with the parallel port connection.
All help appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you so much Gerry!
I'm on it.
I have the UC400ETH on order from Amazon and will give UCCNC a try.
Thank you once again.
Hi Omorali
I have a KT-2514 servo machine. I recently had to reformat the hard drive on the computer I was running Mach3 and lost the settings in Mach3. Do you have a KT-2514 profile you can send me? Thank you.

Hello Jerome.
I apologise for reverting this late; I just logged on.
Do you still have this requirement? It is my pleasure to share with you.
