RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Rebuilding a Bridgeport BOSS Control

Reviving the mill from spares to keep the mill running is an expensive way
to go. If you can do the conversion work it would probably pay to sell the
current cards on E-bay and then just convert to Geckos.

You will have to contact Mariss to see if he would do the drive
modification.
