It's a dedicated CNC controller already... :-) P120, DOS 6.22, 16MB memory
(largely unused), 120MB hard drive (largely unused), 1.44 floppy
(sneakernet) and an S3 video card (largely unused). I'm happy with the
text-mode interface and wondering what EMC would have to offer above/beyond
DeskNCRT for the trouble and expense (I gather I'd need to burn a CD-ROM at
work and buy a CD drive and update the BIOS so it was bootable and buy a
larger hard drive etc. and etc.)

Best regards,

Randy
