Hello,
I'm helping my son retrofit an older mini mill that had mach3 using  PC-2-Route Model M2 BOB which I believe dates back to the mach 2/3 days. Doesn't seem to be any current information on them. We currently have  a mesa 7i92 communicating to a small pc with mesaflash working. Looking through the bit files that come with the 7i92 download, I was not able to find a compatible file. If I understand correctly, in order the change the function of a pin, you need a custom bit file to flash the board. Pinout of the parallel port follows.
Thanks
Maynard

Thats a fairly odd pinout.
I can try making a matching bitfile some time this week

We switched over to a c10 bob, so we won't need the custom bit file.
Thanks for offering
