Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CNCpro VS Artisan Vs DeskncWin

Hi,

Am I missing something here, what exactly IS a 'serial adapter'? Is this in
place of the parallel port or an extra to it? If it replaces the parallel
port, how can it run more than one axis at once? If it works with Desknc
will it work with EMC, I could certianly do with a few more SPS on my setup?

Confused,
Ian
