Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Purpose of this group

Ken,

Things like GECKOS.GECKOS.WE.LOVE.GECKOS.STEPPERS is one of the things that
this group is all about. The knowledge that I got from the discussion
about the Geckodrive was very important to me. I just bought three of their
G210 drives for my current project.
