    Default 4 axis plugin for Mach3

    Would someone have a Jamen 4 axis JNC-40 plugin (compatible with Mach3), and perhaps share it wit me.
    I purchased a Jcut 6090B router from China a couple of months ago. It was built as a 3 axis + rotary. I wanted a 4 axis machine, and since than I bought another driver, wired it in, but I can't get the rotary to work. It works if I swap the X axis for it. The manufacturers say, I need a different PLCX card for it. But on the card I have in the machine now, there is A axis terminals. I and Hood from CNCzone think it is the plugin that need to be different, because it supports only 3 axis, not 4.
    Does anybody out there have/had similar problems?
    I would really appreciate some input.
    Mike

    If you have a break out board on the unit, it's just a matter on connecting to the step and direction pins of the serial port. Of course match the Mach 3 configuration pin setup.

    This would bypass the need for any drivers or use of their hardware. Unless the plcx card fits into a chassis provided by the manufacturer?

    Thanks Friend,
    No, there is no breakout board at all, just this PLCX card.
