Don't know if this label applies, but here are some answers.

> #2 Is it possible to compile the EMC program for a Mac and use Mac Linux?

Don't know if anyone has tried. It is programmed in C so it may be worth
giving it a try.

Nothing commercial that I know of but you may want to look at the following:
http://www.bmumford.com/cncmill/index.html
http://www.bmumford.com/ebay/details/details.html
There was also a link posted lately that to a site in the UK for MAC CNC

> #4 How much Hard drive space and memory does EMC require?

The smallest I have installed on is a 850 mb drive with 24 mb RAM.

> #5 Would a Pentium 133 MHz be ok with EMC?

It would run the older stepper motion module just fine, but for the newest
stuff you will want a 350 or better.
