I think you may be starting from the wrong end of the system.
Servos and controllers are expensive, so see what you can find at a
good price.
You might be able to get your laptop to run LinuxCNC but the odds are
against you. Most laptop PCs have too much hardware that prevents the
realtime Linux kernel from working well. Have you run the LinuxCNC
latency test? It should be under the CNC menu. If you run it and then

Ok,

Dear All,

Holmquist,
If your luck holds I might have a manual in the archives (VERY dusty boxes)
and if that is true then it was already old in 1990.
Siemens was already going their own way then. The cooperation was even

How old is the lathe? I have a 1989/1990 vintage lathe that had a
