Yep, I will definitely try it, thanks Andy.
I would really love to see a small improvement of EMC capabilities

How hard was the retrofit. Was it all about pushing wires and computer

Stuart - you're not crazy - at this point it doesn't look like

I'm not sure of the value, I paid $1400 for mine a few years back with a
Crusader M L control (has a CRT), but the control didn't work right away so
I replaced it with EMC2. The servo motors, drives, and all worked fine,
just had to replace the control itself. Mine came with an Aloris QC
