Hello List.
I was thinking about trying Mach1 or Mach2 with my sherline mill.
Im currently running TCNC with a 200Mhz pentium. I have a PII 350
in the garage I can use. I was wondering if I should get a faster
PC or will the 350 be OK. Also, how do I know if I have a "Non
Apic" motherboard? Will the software work Ok with out modifications
to my zylotex driver? How can you set up a Joystick, and what is it
used for, Jog?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Just a note: I tried Mach1 / 2 and Master5 with my laptop when I
first set stuff up. It would not work. I think it was due to the
Laptops LPT port being part of the external docking station. (It's
an IBM X20) So I used an old compaq with DOS and TCNC to get my
feet wet. Should it have worked on this? If I can get it to work
on this then that would be great. I tried several CNC progs, and
non of them seem to work with it!! Just no motion!!
