heh - none of it - It is a hermes engraver.  I have the official controller 
for it but no software yet.  I just hooked up some parker step+dir drives to 
it using the existing steppers so I could play with it.

some pictures of it here. http://www.electronicsam.com/images/engraver/
also some more videos

the controller that came with it smoked when I first got it.  fixed a diode 
and mosfet and is seems to work but agian - no software to try it.  It homes 
and jogs anyways.  It can do so much more with emc2 :)
