I have removable hard drives on my home computer. I have dedicated to a drive to Xandros and the other to the Debian that contains emc. The BDI 4.3.0 install went well and everything appears to be working fine. I simply change the boot sequence in the bios when I want to change operating system. My reasoning for removable hard drives was to be able to write G code in the comfort of my home and remove the hard drive and take it into my shop insert it into the computer that controls the CNC and run it. I have purchased the Xylotex three axis system, a Grizzly mini mill, a larger milling table for the mill, and a z-axis acme thread. I have the material to make the mounting brackets for the motors and have started making them. In other words I am committed and I am bound and determined not to use Windows based software. I concerned about compatibility between emc and the Xylotex hardware. If anyone has any thoughts on how to get them to work together please do tell. |
