Re: replacing feed screw with a hydraulic cylinder

I just acquired a Hydra-Point but haven't moved it on site yet.
Doesn't sound like it would be at all sensible to try using it as is
other than just to fire it up and see if it does work. (Supposedly it
does) I got a couple of stepper motors thrown in with it which may be
usable for the table. I'll post the specs on those later to see if
anyone knows, and I have a ballscrew catalog which should have
something suitable in it.

So here's the question(s), What would be suitable for retrofitting
the z axis (quill), what is needed to drive the steppers, can an old
P-90 IBM clone PC be used to run it, and what software is available?

TIA,
Jim
