yes, stay here
I'm in for some programming too, I'm working now in Delphi, but I'll
be downloading the tcl stuff and will learn it for the purposes
if needed.... I'll be building a small mill in the next six months so
will have a testbed too. That will mainly run Linux/EMC, but the
machine will have removable harddrives so I can swap it to Win95 if
needed.

I have an option on some small servo motors with encoders. just two
though. is it possible to run EMC with 2 servos and one stepper?
