Dear Ned,

In theory this is possible.
But as I wrote, I'm not familiar with Linux or its developer, though
I'm his compatriot, so in practice this means I have to have another
computer for e.g. the iternet access during the linux investigations.
There is one promising thing that I found dedicated for me, the BDI,
brain dead installation. I'm still fairly suspicious about this, how
does it install e.g. the all drivers to my PC?
furthermore, I'm newbie in this PC-CNC stuff, so there is enough
things without linux.

What else options I have with my Gettys servos that are brushed DC
motors. Feedback is resolver (or tacho). The type of the controller
is 11-1010-97.

Does somebody have experienses e.g. about Rutex's products (R90)
http://www.rutex.com/home/servo.htm
Is there other corresponding products available?
