Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Looking for RH5.2 and Tim's script

Just getting into this and I have Red Hat 6.2 however I see that I
need to find the older version. So, I would like to get a copy of
this 5.2 and the real time drivers I can not find them. Would also
like to get a copy of Tim's script on EMC set up

Thank You
