Steve,
I think for sure based on making of my own conclusions, net know for sure based 
on the fact, that somebody high in Centroid who has direct knowledge told me so.

I looked at an output of decompilation of Acorn software and what I have seen 
is bunch of .NET CIL code and WIN32 API. Also, what is flashed on the BBG 
looked pretty small. Machinekit-HAL uses Linux userspace real-time 
threads/tasks. I did not think it would fit. The Windows side didn't look like 
anything Machinekit-like I have seen.

Then, by their website, the Centroid started in 1979, before the Enhanced 
Machine Controller project. So I again assumed, that the Centroid Acorn is 
direct evolvement of their own work.

Of course, I can be wrong.

Cern.
