Sorry about the OT post, but I don't know where else to turn. I'm a long-time lurker and I'm finally getting close to having EMC running with Jon Elson's USC on my ancient plasma machine (replacing DOS and a Microkinetics contoller). I had a Dell GX270, which seemed to work fine until I tried testing the plasma arc. Seems to have fried the motherboard instantly. I've spent the afternoon troubleshooting all the possibilities, and it's very dead.
The Microkinetics card was plugged right into the bus, and it regularly locked up from the plasma noise, but it never fried anything permanently, so this was a surprise. The very long run of ethernet cable seems like a probable cause, but I really don't want to waste any more equipment if it's not the problem. Does anyone know of a good, reliable computer for using with plasma? It's an old Esab with HF start.
