I just acquired a Hardinge HNC with a 550 control. It came out of a
university with about 50 hours on it. Perhaps I should not waste my time
with the control and instead put something else on it.

Has anyone used the Ahha lathe package? The folks at Ahha think it's great,
but then Microkinetics thought their controller was great too. Once burned,
twice shy.
