I have been arguing this point for a while now, but when it comes down to it, it's not that hard or expensive to put together a single PC system that works fine for any machine I might want to build. There really isn't a strong reason to go through the effort when a change or two to the PC hardware should make it work fine. One thing that is fairly easy to do, is run LinuxCNC from a remote PC, with VNC or an ssh/X session. This way the LinuxCNC PC can be in the machine's electronics cabinet and the user interface PC in front of the machine, or additionally in your office. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
