Yep, and that isn't possible with WinXP. Mach3 runs a buffered

buffered data at anyone time.

The best way to test serial ports under Linux (or any other OS) is to make
a loopback device.This is a fancy name for a short length of wire that
short the Rx and Tx pins. You should then be able to read back every
byte you send. It loopback fails then you know the promlem is at your end

Have you considered trying single flute endmills? With single flute you
could run at twice the RPM of 2 flute and the same chip loads and axis
speeds. That might solve the problem of insufficient power for high speed
movement and insufficient low speed spindle torque.

Potentially. Though I think that other applications with a similar subscription
scheme have issued a perpetual licence as they pulled down the shutters.

The hobby licenses look like they will run on multiple machines, but the
pro licenses appear to be locked to the hardware.
I think they had to do something since their Mach3 licenses were being
reused on Chinese machines over and over again.
If they go out of business I think a pro user could be

I see you used "lspci" and the port was not there.
Try booting the OS that sees the port then go to /dev/serial/by-id
and have a look.Ports there are names for their hardware locations
While booted up on that system try lspci.
