Imagine my surprise to accidentally find the Butler factory when visiting my sister:

Maybe I should try to persuade them to offer a LinuxCNC option.

Andy, is that something that could be fixed with an application specific task module?
It seem to me there is a whole new world out there for LInuxcnc if task and iocontrol drivers were exploited.

I suspect not (but don't know)
I think that it needs two motion queues.

Wasn't Machinekit working on something like that at some point? Don't know if they got anywhere.
