Hello, I am looking for a complete new control board for my bPacer. Because it used to run on my Windows 95 computer, but now the computer has died. Can anyone tell me where I can get a retro fit board. Pat.

Or you can change over to a MASSO G3, no computer required!Your best bet would probably be to buy a refurbished computer that is running Windows 95 or earlier so it will still be able to run your CNC control software. This would probably be the best and cheapest way to go.
Another choice would be to buy a new control box running a newer CNC controller. You would have to make sure the stepper motors are compatible with the drivers in the new controller. Still need a new computer.
A third choice would be to build a new controller yourself. Still need a new computer.
You could also convert it to run on an Arduino controller.
