YES, picked it up today.

it is the older one. White, with a pendant that has 3 rotary wheels.

The photo's I have found make me think newer ones are black and have a
lot of buttons and one jogging wheel.

In looking at what I can find on the net, it seems that this does not
accept standard G-Codes.

If that is the case, then I need to devise some plan of attack.

either get software that will run this, or swap out the drivers to
something that will take step and direction.

Do you know if there is any type of manual on-line ?

I sure would like to turn it on and see it work.

As for accuracy, I would have hoped it would do better than 2-1/2
thou. should that be 0.00025?
