Hi Jan,

What software are you using on your clockwork puter?

Terry

AND, a ten-year old laptop running ONLY MSDOS is just fine! Windoze,
mousery, and color is NOT needed to make a 3- or even 4-axis CNC machine make
megawhompers! (See in PHOTOS, "Home Brew...") I have a ten-year old Tandy
1500HD running a CNC lathe just fine! I had originally expected to run it
with an old '386 monochrome desktop "minitower", but the little laptop in the
photo was donated by someone who felt the price of a new battery was not
justified (he was right!). Ah, experience! It does have its uses, it does!
