Indeed. I think there is a greater than 50% probability that all he needs is a HAL file and the wires connected up, and it will all work at least as well as it was, but with EMC on the front end. I think that would be a nice place for Martin to be, with his old machine back, but with new software. I fully expect that soon afterwards specification-creep will strike, and that there will be new motors and drivers fitted eventually, but that is a significant investment in time and cash. I would have a go at writing the hal file myself, except right now my emc machine is in pieces and I have a busy weekend ahead. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
