Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: windows or dos based NC software

I wrote cnc stuff in borland c for the LM628 before I made the
Linux /EMC plunge.

I still have a $1600 Tech80 card using multiple lm628s that I used
for a research project. If anyone wanted to buy it fairly cheap we
could talk... otherwise It may end up being the controller for
my surface grinder.

It has basic, c, and pascal libraries included.
