Brian, I offer another opinion here. This thread would have died a long time ago without your input. The driving force for many of the responses is not the need to prove 'Mines bigger than yours'. Everyone needs a little 'Comic relief' and jumped on this with a smile to see where it would go.
I don't have a Mach system so I cannot offer a valid comment on the comparison. My reason for not even trying Mach is it runs on Windows only. In 1997/1998 I put three 5 axis MDSI controls on three 5 axis Cinci mills. I purchased MDSI's API with the purpose of developing the functionality I wished to see. I updated with them one time. The second update cycle was when they announced the next version would be based on Windows only. I called them and let them know I would not be putting Windows on any of my machines. They not only would/could/did not reconsider, they claimed they would no longer suppport the QNX versions. I have one machine running MDSI on QNX, one machine broke mechanically and one is the LinuxCNC 5 axis Cinci.
