Tangent Corner / The Best Engine

The Best Engine

 


A notable gynaecologist once said,


"The  best engine in the world is the vagina.
It can be started with one finger.
It is self-lubricating.
It takes any size piston.
And it changes its own oil every four weeks.
It is only a pity that the management system is so blooming temperamental."

And with those one turn equals two inches lead srcews, it'll be really fast   ;DI
Looks real good Dave. Keep us updated. What version of SW do you have?

From Artsoft Home page.

Software Requirements

Keeping with our home hobbyist roots, the minimum software requirements to run Mach are very reasonable.  Below are the specifications for running Mach3 stably.
Mach3 Minimum Requirements:

    * Windows 2000/XP Operating System
    * 1Ghz CPU
    * 512MB RAM
    * Non-integrated Video Card with 32MB RAM
    * Basic Computer Skills (ability to copy/rename files, browse directories, etc)
    * Desktop PC if using the Mach3 Driver (Laptops are not supported because the power saving features of the chipsets disrupt the pulse stream)

This pc should be dedicated to Mach.  No games , no internet .(my opinion)

I also import the pic into cad , draw over it , with mostly arcs , and pedit to connect as many lines as possible.
Works great for me . but does take some time .   
I'm also old school. (school?)

First of all your pc was probably a win 98 w/500 mhz processor. You should have closer to 1 ghz processor, and 512 m ram.
