I wounder if it can be purchased without the controller and software?

Hello Marcin,
I don't have any actual hardware running on my laptop, but I did manage to
get EMC installed on it. Like a lot of the people here, I had problems at
first with SMI latencies, but with the SMI module installed it works fine.
I have a dell Inspiron 640M (core duo). The problem with
I think it would be very cool if EMC2/Axis could be made to work on an
Asus eeepc. It doesn't have a parallel port, but perhaps one can be
added and the power management disabled? That thing is small and would
be ideal for a dedicated interface to a machine.

Hi Marcin, et al:
I have two laptops running Linux and EMC2. One is a Dell 5000e and the
other a Dell M50. Both were high-end laptops at the time of purchase, both
have standard parports and both are running strong today (the 5000e is eight
years old). I am not a Dell junkie; my latest laptop

At least some of them are totally compatible, in that they look
like they standard 0x378 par

I don't recall hearing about any that work well. You may be able to

Thanks for the responses on EMC laptops. But surely there must be at least
one specific laptop that does work? Is there any success story out there at
ALL for a working laptop?

B and L look like an output from the drive and an input to the
controller, but the description makes it sound like contacts that enable
the drive. I would recommend taking an open circuit voltage reading
between B and L and putting a relay coil rated for that voltage. It
could be an output th

That just cropped up here after I updated to 2.2.3. There's
one realtime error when Axis starts up, then nothing else.
I run it either locally or through rdc, with the same

It seems clear that A and D are intended to be shorted to ground to
enable the drive.
A is labeled Inhibitdly, so I supposed there is some sort of delay

Only problem is that Printer ports are not addressed the same on PCMCIA
cards and with EMC2 we talk direct to the address and not via a driver.
I dont think this solution would work.

In general, laptops are not a good idea. Many of the inexpensive ones are
doing away with 'legacy' ports.
I would suggest, whatever you get, get one with a PCCard slot, and get a
PCCard that has a printer port on it.
Actually, I would want two of the cards, just in case one gets fried :(

I haven't heard of any good stories using laptops. The parallel ports
seem to work on a lower voltage and laptops have a harder time
generating the pulses due to power saving, etc.
Perhaps I am wrong, but I would recommend using a desktop PC.

Dear Group,
Can someone point me to what brands of laptops have good compatibility with
LinuxCNC, and what distribution of Linux you would recommend? I'm looking
for a laptop, and want to make sure that it will work well with LinuxCAD for
an CNC acetylene torch table that we're building.
Thanks,
Greetings;
I got the font problem fixed by installing another 20 megabytes of fonts on
this F8 box, and I do note one thing: When starting emc on its own screen, I
do get a realtime error, just one that never repeats.
Running it on this screen via an ssh -Y linkage, they don't occur, ever.
