Hi Ken. You may be correct on this. In fact, I think you are. I picked
up this particular unit for old time nostalgia. In the after glow of
which I thought I would experiment with it hoping that Rev might be
coaxed to run on it without modification to the Mac. However, reality
often bites. In seeing how early a Mac unit might work well with Rev
and this CNC project I may be stuck with using a 6100 model because of
the limitations you are pointing out.
I am by first training an archaeologist and sometimes can't let go of a
functioning past!
In any case the CNC project is a very practically based real world
project and will be made to work on the first reasonable equipment
platform which may be an old Windows box. But, I would then work back
through my Mac inventory. It seems that a small, practical CNC program
for the Mac which will run on pre-OS X computers might be useful to some
people I have begun to run across in my searches.
