Running a Rover20 Biesse CNC for milling and boring.

Software Windows2000Prof and NC500 from Biesse.

Computer not in good condition.

Can I run NC500 on Linux (I've installed versions of Linux on another machine and got the NC500 to run on Linux, but not sure at all how to do communication)?

Can I use other software to run small programs on CNC?

If I'm in the wrong forum please redirect me.

Thank you
