Yes, I bought a Beelink five years ago, as the cheapest PC on Amazon, as a test subject for the iso images. Note that this was 5 years ago, so the specs will have changed. But you may be able to draw some comfort from the fact that the brand is still extant. At the time I said: Having installed LinuxCNC and the Buster preempt kernel, the latency is, well, unspectacular. It runs at about 120uS or 120,000nS which is certainly not good enough for hardware stepping, but with no parallel port or other GPIO this isn't really relevant. It ought to work with a Mesa ethernet card but that is not yet tested. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
