Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Questions on a CNC Controller (AhHa) I am rebuilding

I appreciate the feedback Bob however on the AhHa web site, they get into
some specifics. Version 4.0 of AhHa apparently can both use and runs best
with the faster processors. Apparently, at some point, the processor cannot
keep up with the controller which is why they recommend a faster CPU. They
mention "300 Mhz to 500 Mhz is best" however since my processor is only a
PII-333 I was wondering what impact, if any, this would have.

Eric,

For most DOS systems that I have seen, a P133 or faster is all that you
will
need.
