Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] I'm curious

Jack:

My thoughts exactly. I wish I had done this originally, but I never
expected Mach to become what it is, I was aiming simply at a printer port hi
pulse driver, it was the sole aim, so the design lent itself only to that
end, but the Mach4 project should allow me to coordinate things a bit
better. We'll see how it goes.. The new G100 code is a separate thread of
its own, so it really is doing the function of an external driver even
though its built in the main code. Now that you mention it, it would be good
if it was an external driver... I'll do some research..

Thanks,
