Yes, my Tormach shipped with Mach3. The Mach3 configuration was "locked" so
you couldn't make any changes.

have you tried nativecam
have you tried nativecam?
easy to add to axis (when you've done it before).
centroid acorn is nice, but very expensive and has very few iOS (compared
to Mesa hardware and linuxcnc) and only 4x step and direction ports..
your choice.
