OK, but this has nothing to do with Bruce's original question, which was whether there is hardware he can set up that works with both LinuxCNC and Mach3 on a dual boot setup. The answer to that question is NO unless he uses step/dir servo drives and software step generation on a parallel port, which is a very lousy setup for EITHER software. Other than that answer, the rest of this about how well Mach works with some particular LinuxCNC-incompatible hardware or other is off topic for this list but has nevertheless been rehashed here many times. Please, let's restrain ourselves, as tempting as it is to argue about this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
