Then why do we not have an installable 64 bit based .iso on the downloads page our site points to? Seems to me if we had one, it would be there just for bragging rights. The 64 bit stuff is labeled simulation only. Not for machine control. I've also noted that anything for the my pi has done a vanishing act also, no updates for my pi driven Sheldon lathe in months now. There are video driver updates I could use from raspian, but I'd have to unpin the kernel and let it install a non-realtime kernel to use them. So I'm stuck with a very old copy of master on the Sheldon. Its running moderately well if after every reboot, I call up the keyboard/mouse configurator and slow the keyboard repeat down below 15/sec, otherwise it bombards the i/o with a 250+ a sec keyboard repeat, and that causes all sorts is missed keyup events. until thats slowed down. Then it generally runs well till the next power bump. > > Peter Wallace > Mesa Electronics > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
