RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: rapid G210 'overdrive' rates using logi c on header blocks

I am still at a loss to understand what this would do for me. The motor is
still moving the same number of microsteps so it will not change the torque
vs RPM of the motors. All that it would do is allow a resource intensive
interpreter program on a resource constrained computer to get a rapid feed
rate that is up to the limits of the motor/driver/power supply combination.
In the world of cheap systems we have today it is easier and likely less
expensive to just go to a faster computer. The other option is to go with a
less resource intensive interpreter program.
