There's stranded Ethernet cable. For that UV curable stuff, get a 9 LED UV flashlight, cheap on eBay. Works much better than the twee little single LED that comes with the stuff. Reminds me I need to goop up the USB cord for my phone. From: Gene Heskett To: emc-users@lists.sourceforg

I have one concern about the use of serial interface for THC. The serial components are notoriously slow and sometimes are very far behind the real-time events. With THC you need very fast and in time movements. Unless there is an interface to the Mesa serial channels, I would be cautious to im
