Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] step and direction software

Hi Chris:

I do have a couple users using P166 speed, but the toolpath display and
such can slow it down terribly. Its hit and miss with Master5. I'm striving
to make Master6 quite different in this regard. It will be NT based with a
much higher pulse speed, but will require 500Mhz or better with P6 series
Cpu's. The GUI will be radically different with idea's submitted by the
users. I don't think it will end up looking much like Master5 at all if all
goes well. A few months more maybe.
