I'm not understanding the "overcapacity problem"?? If your car can go 80 mph, do you trade it in and get a crappier one that can only go 70?
There is a reason why old Windows 95/98 PCs are dirt cheap. I threw out a bunch of Windows 98 PCs. I got an entire pallet of them from one of my clients. I salvaged a few parts off of some of them, but 90% of the pallet went into the trash. >>turbo cnc? Your question would be better answered on the DIY-CNC forum on Yahoo. There are a lot of users of other PC based CNC controllers on there but most of them are LinuxCNC and Mach3. Hardware is so cheap these days that I think that buying stuff over 2-3 years old is of questionable value. The people on this list are somewhat jaded when it comes to preferable PC based CNC controls. ;-) Dave On 3/7/2012 10:33 AM, charles green wrote: > hmm. has anyone else tried turbo cnc? > > > --- On Wed, 3/7/12, Mark Wendt<[email protected]> wrote: > > >> From: Mark Wendt<[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: [Emc-users] EMC2/Ubuntu updates - safe to install? >> To: [email protected] >> Date: Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 7:17 AM >> On 03/07/2012 10:11 AM, charles green >> wrote: >> >>> turbo cnc? interesting. ..nice - $60 to register >>> >> the shareware. but that is significantly less than the >> cost and tortuous hours of overcapacity investment. i >> do have a win 98 cd and a 486 box in the closet, but then >> i've already put in the ubuntu hours. maybe i should >> keep my eye out for a parport switch box. did you use >> turbo cnc? how, strictly in its function as a machine >> control, does it compare to linuxcnc? >> >>> >>> >> Dunno.
