    Default Buying Path Pilot from Tormach

    Hello, I was wondering, will Tormach sell a computer to a non Tormach owner? I believe they were 700.00 for a computer with the path pilot loaded already. I realize the steps and configures would need changed by me also. Thank You

    I don't see why they wouldn't. Nothing really proprietary about the controller. It would come with a Mesa card installed as well as Path Pilot.

    It can be done cheaper by you, but not as convenient.

    Pathpilot is available separately (110, about) and Tormach has published a list of compatible motherboards. Why spend 700 when half that will do? The value of buying a computer from Tormach is the support for the system (Tormach machine, Tormach controller), and you won't fit into that box, so you might not get much help except -perhaps- for software specific questions. I am sure that Tormach won't help you configure it for a non-Tormach machine.

    Wouldn't do it, even though you probably can.

    They wouldnt sell me one without providing a machine serial number. Both the controller and mesa cards they wanted the serial number. I was able to checkout with the mesa card, but got an email withing 10 min telling me I needed to provide the serial number. I couldnt at the time so they refunded me.

    I built my own machine and used tormach's mesa card. Was pretty painless.

    You have to click on YouTube, then once on YouTube select show more, the PP download link will show. Follow the the eight short videos on how to set up. It works...
