Hi!
I' have a denford starturn 4 and I have bought it 4 months ago but I dont have any driver for it.
Can you provide me a registered driver which is compatible with my Starturn 4.

hi, is there any way to get the dos sw running without being connected to my novaturn? It'd be nice to have the option to run simulations in the house rather than the garage.
Any help appreciated.

Enter as much information about your CNC hardware and software as you can - it makes it easier for everyone to know what you're talking about then.

The DOS software is now free but not supported by Denford - the flash codes remove the need for a dongle, and can be found here (flashes.txt):

I understand there were different versions of the DOS s/w - some for the machines and some for offline use.

For the record it seems that with FLSTEP you can get the SW running connected to a novamill, then turn off the mill and as long as you dont switch to a machine control mode the SW will run fine.
