Any recommendations on a PC that plays well with LinuxCNC and Mesa boards? Most of the ones I saw listed are no longer available from Newegg.
Thanks Roger NealOther than EPP issues with with the 7I43 and some PCI parallel cards, I dont think there are any serious compatibility issues with PC -->Mesa hardware. The real trick is finding current MBs with decent latency. (and that work with the now pretty old Ubuntu 10.04)
I'm pretty happy with the ASUS E45M1 PRO (with c6 state and cool&quiet turned off in the BIOS)
This gives ~10 usec servo and base thread latencies on a passively cooled MB with noticeably better than Atom performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
