Re: Linux vs. DOS

Hi Tim,

I've been browsing you conversation woth Matt and its been fascinating
as I'm thinking of trying Linux and EMC on a spare 486 machine I have.
Just a thought re. your interfacing problem - it would seem easiest to
me to make up the necessary short leads to go between your mill leads
and the computer and change the pin settings this way. I.e. a lead with
a pulg on one end wired for the EMC output and a socket on the other
wired for your mill controller. Much easier and quicker than trying to
figure out the software!
