Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / Sound Logic PC-2-ROUTE REV1.9 & SPINDLE SPEED R4 & Auto Z setter Need Help!

« on: July 20, 2020, 09:21:53 PM »

I have a EZ Router built  in 2008
mach 3
HSD Spindle will not spin.
VFD is power in but Nothing Out (digital readout says 50.1)

Main Board (Sound Logic PC-2-ROUTE  REV1.9)
spindle board (Spindle Speed R4 sound logic)
auto z (02-34957-0101 Rev B)

Called tech support, they said i needed a Red BOB and 24V power supply
Friend is helping me research how to fix and he found out about PMDX 126 and 107 boards as a fix for sound logic boards. via google

pmdx contact page suggests starting here in the forum before emailing..

So....I am not that tech saavy,
is the pmdx 126 and 107 the latest fix (for 2020) (as my 2008 pc and control box are still parallell ported) or is there a better way to upgrade and use usb (as a new computer is probably necessary soon...
i see Smart BOBs are available ? are those better than a 126 /107 combo or more than i need?

also when they installed the auto z board at the factory it was double stick taped.. very quickly unstuck fell and shorted out.
what can i do to replace it? (board says 02-34957-0101 RevB)

thank you so much for your help
