Oscar,
I have a customer in Weatherford that has a Digital tool system.
If you customer is converting to Mach3 then I would recommend replacing the Digital Tool driver box and going to Gecko drives.
If you are in the Dallas Fort Worth area I can help. I live in Euless. You may want to give me a call at 817-540-1273.

Subject: [mach1mach2cnc] Digital Tool CNC router set up with BobCAD & Mach3
I have a client whose computer crashed a few months back and I'm now
setting up his new PC & CNC router. He is using BobCAD 20, Mach3 for
the control and he has a Digital Tool CNC router. He has 2 parallel
cards connected to an LPT Indexer. I set up the program ok but I ran
into a snag.
Apparently, the company that made the CNC is no longer in business
and the customer doesn't have the pinout documentation. I tried every
combination of pins and directional pins but I can't get it to work
correctly. I can get the machine to jog, but not anything else. My
other problem is that the 0 origin seems to be backwards. I tried to
run the roadrunner test file but it starts to cut backwards.
I believe the problem might be related to not having the pins right,
but I thought I would ask.
If anyone has any information, I would surely appreciate it. The
customer has been down for about a month. Thank you!
