Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] HPGL controller

Carlos,
unfortunately, not totally headless,and won't accept a serial input.
What I ideally want to do is load DOS and a DOS based package on a
flashdisk and boot into the software, no k/b, no monitor, just an e-stop
and a serial in. Looks like I'm probably going to have to go the PIC
route. Just hate having to reinvent the wheel.
