mach3 or not

[jcjenkins3]

Is the shark controller a modified version of mach3? I have been told that it is. i would like to know for sure.

No it is not.

What are you trying to do? Which model do you have?

[jcjenkins3]

I would like to use the control panel on a machine other than cmc shark.

The NWA website says that Mach3 is compatible with the Shark Machines. I remember from the past that this may not have been the case.
I am not sure what the status of this is today, but the new NWA website says it is compatible.

The NWA website is in error and I've been told that they will fix this. While some early versions of the Shark hardware (white shark with 2 piece control box) was supported by a version(s) of Mach 3 at the time, there is no direct capability between the Mach 3 software and most models of the Shark - including recent versions.
