Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Wish list

Hi,

I am new to posting on this list. I have been lurking for a while learning
a great deal from the fine folks who do contribute on a regular basis. One
day I hope to be able to converse intelligently about cnc.

One comment I would like to throw out, concerns the use of the ISA bus. It
is true that there are truck loads of old pc's around and will be for
awhile. But we need to keep in mind that the specs from Intel and MS call
for doing away with ISA slots in the pc. I am seeing many new machines
which do not have any ISA slots in them and this trend will continue. Just
a thought.

Thanks,
Bruce
