One laptop + several machines using Mesa cards.

Gents,

mancave conditions: several cnc machines but will use one at the time. Plan to use lenovo T470 touch laptor with LinuxCNC on it. Each cnc machine will have Mesa on board (some ethernet model). One thing is bothering me: each machine Mesa card will have specific bit file. How about LinuxCNC on laptop? Is it possible to have several "profiles" so i can simply switch one machine off, disconnect ethernet cable, go to the next one with my laptop, plug eth in and just start machine specific profile and just use it? What if i want to use this nice black/yellow high contrast GUI 
on plasma, but then regular AXIC on the router then lathe specific one.

Can it be done?
 

Just needs appropriate configuration (hal and ini) files for each machine

Perfect. So each Mesa will have its own BIT file, specific to machine it is installed in and on the laptop side INI + HAL per machine. So it looks like GUI is invoked by INI file and each machine can have a different one. Nice. Looks like nice, interesting and long adventure:) Thank you.

Got some videos (or forum thread) of your setup? It sounds very interesting. Tube cutting subject is attracting:)
