RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] running the BDI EMC on a real machine

Jon Elson is using an STG I. I am pretty sure that they have a STG II setup
at the NIST offices. I think Matt Shaver has some experience with the STG II
and I know that Till in Germany is using an STG II.

You will not be the only one. You may get better response on this subject if
you post to the NIST list. I think most of the hobby sort like myself have
decided on the Gecko G3X0 route as it eliminates the need for the $800 STG
card.
