Mach3 has no realtime loop control suitable for closed loop servo control. The only thing that we would consider to be "realtime", would be the Mach3 stepper driver. All other realtime aspects of Mach3 must run on external hardware. The reason is that Windows is not realtime. So to answer the original question: LinuxCNC and Mach3 are two entirely different animals; so No!
