Part of linuxcnc's strength lies in its configurability, not just the fact that it is doing the low level bit banging necessary to run a machine. It seems that there needs to be functionality built in to allow something down the line of kmotion? perhaps? I know this doesn't seem like fun to the developers, and I can understand. It just seems like trouble to always be in question about whether or not a particular new machine will cut the mustard, latency wise. It seems that any new machine should be able to qualify to run linuxcnc, in some form or other.
