Hi all,
Re: Running EMC on "older" computers:
My experience has been that the PICMG form factor has been neglected,
they are available quite cheaply if you lurk ebay.
There are loads with optimistic Buy It Now prices, but my Commell
FS-97DXG2 only cost me £20 about 3 weeks ago.
If anyones in the

I use a GX260 to demo LinuxCNC at shows with my minimill.
It works quite well. I think the GX240 is a pretty similar
machine,
just a little older.
I use GX270's successfully, but I didn't care much for running with 260's, so
if a 240 is much slower than a 260 I'd keep looking.

This discussion of old hardware is very timely, I am starting out with a
Gateway 1gig, 640Megs RAM. I've run the test program for latency. Doesn't look
good. I will have to decide how to proceed. End goal is a hobby engraver
similar to one I built using MAXNC

IMHO, there’s a big “it depends” issue when we look at advice on computers.
As I see it, there are at least three types of users —
The first is the person who’s using their machines to make a living, or at

It's a 2Ghz or slower Pentium III, Socket 370 type. IIRC it takes PC100
or PC133 SDRAM,

Hi, Ray:
I’m running EMC V 8.x on a couple of Sony PCG-F430 notebook computers. These
are 450 Mhz machines with 256 Mbytes of memory. Not particularly fast nor
blessed with oodles of memory. I’ve a Sherline Mill and a Sherline Lathe.
Currently, only the Mill runs CNC. I’m using Sherline’s motor
