I'm not a big Linux guy in general. I use PC for everything but the CNC
machine.
It's been fine. I don't want to put CAD software on the machine running
the CNC.
Both LinuxCNC and Linux RT-Preempt are vastly more desirable than
Mach/Windows, even with Ethernet Smoothstepper.
The ONLY thing I miss about Mach3 was that it gave accurate, real
runtimes upon loading a file. Outside of running the actual job,
LinuxCNC can only give a useless fake time estimate that doesn't involve
acceleration.

I've figured out a way to get a 7192H to a friend who will be staying at a
hotel in San Diego mid-June. He'll bring it back. Then I don't have to pay
$38US for shipping. Only $8.60 for USPS. Really too bad there isn't a driver
for MACH3 for this board to make the dual boot option easier.

It is very good all around, perfect high performance, and frees you from
almost any PC latency probs.
It can configure as a plain-jane parallel port that you'd plug and play
into PMDX-126, but also other things.
Combine with Linux RT-Preempt and it's SO solid

Therefore under LinuxCNC I need something with say an Ethernet interface
that has two ribbon cables compatible with PC Parallel port pinout so the
