Hi Bx3mE,
glad you've had some success. I am coming to the opinion and only restating what Jeff Birt wrote that Mach4 like Mach3 are not processor
hungry applications but they are time sensitive, you can't just stop midstream because of some other application, device or service.
The only time I've found the Atom to be wanting is when I run a software utility which processes G code files, for a 5Meg file it can take several
minutes whereas my laptop (Intel i7,2ghz, hardly a world beater) takes 15-30 sec to do the same job. As a straight machine controller I think
the Atom is going to give tons more service yet.
