Hi Jerry,
We only use the I-opener as a remote display. The Dell computer shown on it's side is what is running EMC. It's at the bottom of the cabinet. As far as using the i-openener by itself, it should be possible as long as it's dedicated to the milling operations only.
For EMC you need a minimum of
An old P133 with 16-32Mb RAM, a 500Mb IDE hard drive, and a CDROM drive that can be booted from. If you want good performance from stepper motors, a Pentium 233 or better is recommended.

I see you have an iopener displayed on your site.
I also have one and was wondering if the iopener had enough guts to run a cnc mill, I don't recall
if the parallel port is/was available.
Any thoughts?
