Stephen & John,
I should have mentioned that it was me who was going to get the

John, thanks for your attention to helping me (or us) understand the new "net"

Don't get fixated on the SMI issue. Unlike many latency killers, it has
a straightforward fix - you just load the rtai_smi module and get on
with things.
If you already have the box, then just load up a copy of EMC2 and get it
running. Don't fret too much about the "perfect" machine to run it on at
this point. This will give you the opporutunity to get the "feel" of the
software first hand. The beaty of EMC2 is that you can easily swap out the

Hi, Will.
I'm the culprit who posted the Dell Dimension 2400 timing numbers. They
were obtained in a "drive-by" test of a friend's PC running the EMC2
LiveCD (I think it was the Ubuntu 8.04 version but I don't remember for

My vote would be for 2 as well. However blended moves by definition are
inaccurate so a slight timing inaccuracy is probably unimportant.
Assuming the machine has sensible acceleration, 1 and 3 should be close
enough together for it to make little difference. I suppose for my
plasma example the

they used to behave properly (
