Hi Ed,
Two of us are considering coming to cabin fever expo from some 6 hours away
up in New York. The purpose of our trip is to get some exposure to EMC2 in
a general overview with regards to connection to a machine and also in
detail with regards to software languages that need to be known to
Hi Ron,
Has there been any response to provide you assistance to make the mill run
with EMC?
I am an experienced field service engineer that has retrofitted several
machines with different systems. I keep trying to get around to an EMC
project but because it is not a paying job it ends up on

It seems every time I get ready to do something with EMC I am interrupted. All
set to go to Cabin Fever and my co-driver comes down with the flu. Oh well.

fest in June.
I am considering running Ubuntu 6.06
Hi Glenn,
I also have a HP/Compag nw9440. Do you have Linux running on that laptop? If
yes, how?
I look forward to your reply.
Have a good day,

Why not offer to exchange for an earlier board for which there is already an
