Is this the kind of situation where having servos instead of steppers is beneficial?

CS-Lab / Re: First impressions of CS-Lab products

Hood, anything further on this project?

I'm interested in purchasing CS-Labs for retrofitting my Anilam equipped Goodway lathe (with Baruffaldi 6-tool changer) it's been a joy to follow this thread because I am a complete machine-conversion newby. Anyway, it's my take they offer the optional I/O I'd need to control the turret - is this correct in your view?

Finally, what's the source of the keyboard/MPG you're using?

Mach3 under Vista / Re: windows 7

I haven't purchased Mach yet and have a question related to a previous statement, so I don't think I am hijacking this thread.

I have a Motion Group controller, which connects to the PC via the parallel port - www.motiongroup.com/cnc.shtml

It was designed to operate with a DOS operating system instead of Windows however, they have recently released an upgrade board for the controller box, which permits it to use Mach instead of their own DLX2000 software.  I have this board headed my way.

Thus, my question is this; will I be able to use W7 64-bit, or will I be forced into a 32-bit license instead?
