I transferred the G0704's axis limits and homing of such to my sim on 
this machine, and thats been quite handy at locating bits of code that 
exceed the limits on the real machine.  Also to simulate a tool contact 
that I occasionally do to map something, or to measure TLO's is now 
simulated by a 1.5 second timer to satisfy the g38.2 function. Not at 
all accurate of course, but it lets me run the huge majority of my gcode 
concoctions in the sim for other error checking.
