Today i´ve asked quite alot of people if they had an old PC with PCI slot.
Only one had an old pc that didn´t work anymore.

Dell Optiplex 830.
It has 4 PCI slots, what a beauty :)
The Nvidia graphics card has had blown elkos. i removed the card and hoped for the onboard graphics to be alive.
At first I had to get another Linux installation because the Pentium 4 HT was 32bit.

Short story the Maho is now running and back in it´s cozy corner in the shop.

I´ve tuned the axis a little more and it seems like the basic things work fine.

On/off
E-Stop
Coolant pump
Spindle left/right/stop
Toolchanger on/off
Jogging and no load gcode splash program
Homing (had to tweak the direction of the y axis)

I wanted to try some basic toolchange but somehow the vertical axis wants to crash my spindle into the worktable. How can i alter direction for "up"
