I am working with a machine that has the Galil DMC-1842. I understand that will work with mach. This machine however, has a synrad J48-2S laser on it driven by their UC-2000 laser controller. I want to set it up to do not only vector engraving, but raster engraving as well. Is that do-able? Anything I should be forewarned about?

I'm going to reply to my own post here. I have found out that it is not possible to use the impact/laser engraving plugin with Galil in Mach3. Art Fenerty informed me that Mach only supports that functionality when using the parallel port. Hope this helps someone else!
