It is apparently an Intel-based PC, with a hard drive and
CD reader, and apparently runs Windows, so you could load Mach, or maybe
Linux and EMC. There doesn't seem to be a parallel port, so direct control
of steppers won't work. The Gecko G-Rex
would probably be usable without too much trouble. There's no telling
what special drivers might be needed, but they may have most of this
covered.
