I don't know CPU-5B SO I cannot speak to that. I don't think LinuxCNC is the problem. You seem to equate LinuxCNC with the entire Linux world. That is not the case. The LinuxCNC world is only connected to Linux because that is the most popular base to run the CNC on. The LinuxCNC world is about CNC not about Linux.
