I had an IMS drive that I did that with to run linuxCNC. Definitely, not
the preferred way to do it, though. The IMS setup I had didn't seem to

I'm thinking it might be possible for software like LCNC to do things like
translate complex moves the mill's controller doesn't have into combinations of
things it can do that would produce the same end result.
But first thing would be to just get it feeding the mill code it understands so
