Jens,
I was lucky enough to have a rare Version 1 that had those "auto home"
features. I like it for those unattended really long jobs for the added
assurance.
Though, once I found drivers that really comunicated properly, and now
with the added settings for drivers in FC, Things have been more rock
steady than ever.

Did you Download the latest ? 2.0.6 ? Rick Fixed a little quirk where
more demanding machines had a problem with the very first rapid move. It
was not a problem if you had a 2G computer, but computers around 1G with
higher rapid rates allowed it to show up. So, if you have a slower
computer, it will help.

He also added the line numbers in the G-Code display window so now when
you load a file that has a problem or "issue" and it tells you what
line, you'll immediately know. He also added a "Time" in hours and
minutes to go, which is pretty handy right below the "Go to Line". Now
I can start a job and get a rough idea as to when to come back and check
on it.

Now with the available Download, we can always have the latest and
greatest. Very Nice !
