This request isn't for my own use but for a very simple pick and
place system. It musy be DOS as that's all the customer understands.
I personally use Ahha and I'm very pleased with it.
Can usually get a conversion done in a working day.
Present one is taking a little more time as it's a FULL rewire, motor
and controler change, but Ahha seem to be the only decent low cost
lathe package, others do mill but not many do both.
