We still use BTU's for small Furnace and Air Conditioner sizing... For larger units its BTUs for furnaces and Tons of cooling for Air Conditioners. Everyone knows that 12,000 btus is required to melt 1 ton of ice.  Hence 12,000 btus is equal to "one ton" of cooling. Who would have known that

[Emc-users] Dual boot for WIN-XP and LinuxCNC

I've started with a fresh 1GB hard drive and set up two partitions. One now has WIN-XP and MACH3. The other is still unformatted and ready for LinuxCNC. How do I install LinuxCNC so the system is dual boot? Thanks John ___ Emc-users mailing

I am off by a factor of 1000 a lot I haven't done a dual boot in a while - but remembering that it is the best to have the windows installed first and working. Then install linux - there was an option to use the remaining space for linuxcnc. IIRC - it just works... Grub installs and sees

There are some good reasons to use a 24 or 48 volt DC bus power system for smaller systems. The chance of electrocution is pretty low for a 48 volt DC system in a dry environment. Once you get above 50 volts or so things change. 24 volts is quite a practical voltage level for smaller systems.

DOn't put s SATA based SSD in a computer unless you are forced into it. The SATA interface is a bottleneck.Those SSDs that are made to look like a disk are for retrofit into computers at had disks. It made the retrofit easy but the SATA interface "chokes" the performance. You can buy a
