Why do you have to buy Mach3 if it was already controlling the machine?

Do not know about OP, my client received machine with mach3 that was
not licenced... So you may guess if it actually worked correctly.
Especially with with g-code files of 300K+ lines.

A month or so ago I converted one desktop mill from mach3 to LinuxCNC
for a customer. It was using some USB-based controller with mach3, I
do not know, if that is the same smooth-stepper or maybe something
else. What I did:
1) installed Mesa 5i25 card in PC case;
2) installed new SSD drive in PC
Your choice of Mesa cards are a good start. You can't go wrong with
that. You will have enough IO to do all the work you want on a mill.

I am purchasing a used CNC Mill using Stepper motors and a BLDC Spindle
motor. It currently is using Mach3 with a usb smooth stepper
interface. I found out I will either have to purchase Mach3, or as I
prefer convert it to use LinuxCNC. Since this is a much higher
performance system than I
