I have recently switched from Mach3 to Linuxcnc with a new controller, new steppers and Fusion 360. Of course I had some problems and since although I enjoy playing with this stuff it is not my only game, I just want it to run. On the Linux forum I ran into John Thornton who I discovered was from mesaus.com. He gave me all kinds of advice and did not try to sell me anything. I did eventually buy a drive with Mint preloaded and then a Mesa 5125 card to solve a latency problem. The card just arrived and John has offered to send me the config files so it should just work that easily. All I can say is one heck of a great guy to deal with!
