The servo versions are reported to be fine on a P100. The stepper versions are dogs and pretty much unusable. While I have run it on P200 and P233 machines I would really suggest at least a 350 for good performance particularly if you want to use freqmod.o.

Hi from Perth WA

 

I have just got my BDI EMC and installed it in an old Pent 100MHz with 40M core and immediately noticed the following:

 

1) This machine spec seems tooooooo ssssllloooooowwww for the simulation....

 

2) The intention is to drive a Yasda YBM-80 with it, probably we will try some steppers first to push the EHPMs

 

3) Anyone else tried this on a 100MHz machine? Should I stop wasting me time and get revved up a bit?

 

cheers from
