Hi Henry:
Sorry, but it would be just about impossible. The Mach2 driver is
extremely tight, Servo-To-Go people took a look at the problem and gave up.
The driver and the OCX are just too strict in the way they do things in a
buffered environment that it doesn't easily translate to anything like doing
a linux driver for it. It could be done, but I doubt you'd want to put in
that kind of work for a single board. Have you coded WDM drivers under NT
before ??

Subject: [mach1mach2cnc] Driver for Servo and I/O board
Hello,
How could I possibly write drivers for my 3rd-party servo-board ? I
have written driver modules for EMC, and I would like to write
similar drivers for Mach2. The board is made by Siemens, and it has
normal servo-controllers (3x +/- 10V out, 3x enc in, 40+ in/out
ports), so it's quite like Servo2Go, but not exactly. It would be
nice to have board operating at Mach2 also, since I recently switched
from EMC. Does Mach2 support "external" driver-modules or dll's ?
Best regards,
Henry "Henkka" Palonen,

PS. I tried to search the archives of this group, but didn't find
anything about "3rd party" drivers.
