Thanks Chad. I just did not have time to read it all. I think the main
problem will be writing the M code software to interface to the automatic tool
changer that I have on my mill. After this we will take the thread off line as
I think most people are not interested. I'll order the card in a day
or so and start installing as time allows. Here is a picture of my Kasuga.
I'll need to scan in the auto tool changer interface info and
email it to you. I'll also take some more pictures of the mill today.

Hopefully I'll get to see it in person someday, when my Cozy is finished. I
took a look through the EMC code base a bit more, and it looks VERY modular. I
think it would be straightforward to create a new module for your Kasuga based
on the Bridgeport Mill code modules but a lot depends on the completeness of
the interface information that you have. I agree we should take this offline,
but I don't have your private e-mail address. You have mine, though, just drop
me a line off-list. =)

Regards,
Chad

OK Chad my private email is the same. Just put the word PRIVATE in the subject box.
I'll send you a list of M codes I need supported for the tool changer later today.
