Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC/Gecko/Parallel Port interface

Hi Ian,

I'll check the dropbox. I was also wondering about the CD. The second
time I tried the install, I just selected BDI. So I didn't get all the
files to BUILD EMC. Do I need to re-install, or is there a simple way
to copy what is needed? As the dual boot is setup, I'd hate to loose
the "moved" Windoz98 boot records.

I'm starting to find my way around. I've tried the four desktop icons,
and used a "terminal" to re-run Xconfigurator again. And I can see the
emc.run.
