Hi Bill,

I have the BDI EMC running on a P233 with 64M RAM and it seems to perform
OK. At the moment it is set up to run steppers under freqmod and tkemc and I
can drive the steppers as fast as they will go, i.e. I have to turn the
speed down on EMC to stop them stalling. I suspect that the critical thing
is the amount of RAM you have available although I also have steppermod
running with tkemc on a P133 machine with 32M RAM which also performs fine.
Again, this is with the BDI install.
What is it that appears to be slow? Perhaps there is something that needs
tweaking a bit.

Ian
