That makes sense. It could be why the 8800GTX in my new machine is just a
very nice card, and not 'killer.' I have Portal running through Steam, and
even though I've finally managed to get it all working great, it's chuggy.
It should fly on this card.

I thought limit switches needed to be at extents, because you can't run
right through them. How do they have it set up? It would work with an
optical trip -
I'd been wondering about this, too. This is great news. Thanks very much to
all of you who are putting in the time, and hard work to make the move to
8.04 a reality.

I've been setting up an old USB programmable keypad to work with EMC2's

get what I want on there without using the x, y, z, a, +, and - hotkeys to
select current axis, and then increment, or decrement.
