On the computer, how do I test that it works with it not connected to the machine?
 
just hit reset, then press offline. and load and run your code
if your wanting to see if the driver is working, in the mach3 directory run drivertest

says that no driver sensed installed. run driver test.

ok.. under MDI I set in a example from the pdf file about Mach3, and it appeared to run, does that mean that it is working?
 
ok figured it out.. the desktop will not allow the drivers to load and install.. so I am about determined to try the next step..

I am going to have to get a copy of 7 pro before I can contiune with the computer.
