I have this
forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/54368-pci...ut-of-the-box#313942
I can do some tests whenever i get to the shop and report back.
All built in parallel ports that i have tested worked in X mode, all were on used "enterprise" PC's from Dell, HP, Lenovo and Fujitsu.
Also did test one of the PCI cards in X mode and it worked with the above mentioned issue that it did require a bit more current to trigger, not sure of the exact one as i had over 10 versions.

Well it's official January 2026 Autodesk Fusion 360 will no longer support Windows 10 . Either switch
to Windows 11 or you can no longer use fusion 360.


 

I think I've got a solution that won't entirely suck: Win 11 Enterprise LTSC

No AI, no features updates, no bloat, no MS store.  10 years of security updates.

I've been running W10 LTSC for a few years and it's what Windoze should be.  Fast, clean, no garbage, no crashes, no surprises after an update.  I bought a 5-pack of Win10LTSC licenses in 2020 and have had no issues on any of the installations.

CDW has a license for $200, but pckeys.uk has them for around 40 UK bongo-bucks and they get cheaper for multi-packs if you have a few PC's to do.

I don't know the difference between Enterprise LTSC, Enterprise N LTSC, and IOT Enterprise LTSC, but I know IOT allows you to remove a bunch of software/services during install.

I'll be doing some more research to pick a flavor, but this is the route I'm taking for those of us who need to remain on Win for F360 and other reasons.
