Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DOS networking: How to use MSclient for DOS machine controllers

Bob,

It is my understanding that AhHa, which is a DOS based CNC COntroller, is
very picky about any interrupts or TSR's being loaded in memory.

As I understand it, they are concerned about unexpected interrupts (i.e.
from a LAN card) interfering with the AhHa software. I have reason to
believe that several people have found a way around this and indeed, may
be using this method successfully.

I wonder if you have any experience with this and, if I unplug the network
cable when I am not moving files to the CNC machine, if that will
eliminate any interrupts from being generated which I might interfere with
the AhHa controller.

Comments welcome.

-Eric
