mariss,

do you have a price point set for the black box...? do you have a
fixed vendor list for the H/W or is it going to be open source on
that as well...? also, is the software end going to be dos real-time
or windows driven using buffers to 'fake' the black box into thinking
it is running real time...? also, on the software side, is there
going to be imports for iges, stl, or step files...? are you also
going to allow for z-axis height compensation and backlash
compensation...?
