Re: Gecko question

Marris or others,
Thanks Mariss for taking the time to answer the post, I would have
understood if you had waited for someone else, as we are all anxiosly
awaiting your new toy. I guess this should have answered my question,
but, I have to ask, are the rev1 units not 10 microstep? I knew they
didn't come with support or warranty. I guess what I'm asking is what
were the improvements with the rev 4 and how will they apply to a
plasma table
Thanks,
Dale

PS Again, no offense taken if Mariss lets others field this
question. thanks
Mariss.
