Hi, Is the Sourceforge archive search function broken? I thought it might be that I did not have a Sourceforge account but I got one and it still does not work. Is there some other way to search the mail archives? Dan ---

It does depend on the drive. My mill uses 320s and my biggest gripe is that they don't keep track of the position with the power off. My lathe has Rutex drives and they do remember the position even during EStop. They have separate logic and motor supplies. The rutex drives also have a very lar
