I don't think they have NC software, in the sense of a G-code
(RS-274D) interpreter. EMC once used Delta-Tau cards, and
could probably be set up to use them again.

Yes. I don't know whether there is a commercial 'package' that
can be bought separately that uses the Delta-Tau cards. I know
some proprietary controls do use their cards in NC machines.
But, I've been told that Delta-Tau, themselves, do not have such
a product.
