OK group, Consider me properly castigated, and flamed to a burnt cinder. I accept it with no animosity towards any. Perhaps I deserve it, but at least I did...
While I'm not a prodigious poster let me make an offer in regard to the future development of TCNC. The only way I know how share a code base and produce...
... Anyone, including Tony and me, who is a registered user and has legal access to the source code IS free to continue developing TurboCNC and is free to post...
Hi to all, First sorry for my english as I write from France. Here the only version in french is the 3.1a. As CNC interest is growing there and also in belgium...
Robert, I will attempt to answer your questions as best I can. 1. Yes, you will need Borland Pascal to compile the files. 2. As I understand it, the compiled...
Dave, At some point back in the 4.0x development, I seem to remember it was due to file size. As I remember it, the compiled exe has to be <= 1MB (why I don't...
... Intel's implementation of the real time clock instructions is flawed on some of its earlier processors; hence the need for a real mode compilation if the...
... I understand that the file size must be kept down in order to stay in real mode, but I'm not aware of any reason why the pentium timer cannot be used in...
Hi, Art: Don't be bashful! I'd appreciate hearing what your preferences would be, especially if the group is going to entertain the idea of a user generated...
Well, then I guess I will start as some of this is off the top of my head tonight. Obvious ones first as I have modded a couple of versions to include then and...
Hi Jerry, Sure it isn't because the timer is a "limited" access device? Or maybe it's called ring 0, I forget. Protected mode limits access to stuff like I/O,...
I have seen this with several CNC and machine control programs. Someone starts a good program and makes a few updates and then the whole project just slowly...
Thanks to all of you for all your answers. At least it seems the yahoo group is not dead..... Some more questions : 1. I understand real mode will be needed...
... You can have one launch the other, BASIC used to have a CHAIN command for this. But that's the point of overlays, to avoid stuff like that. The bits not...
... It's due to a problem with the instruction on some of the earlier Pentium processors that Intel chose not to repair. It has nothing to do with code size. ...
Okay, try this: Log onto the 'folder' of the drive with the DOS on it. Use the ATTRIBUTE command to make hidden files visible. Put a floppy into the "A"...
A little meandering rant from a long time lurker here: You guys keep talking about Pascal... it's been over 25 years since I financed at least two years of...
... I understand your comments. I'd used TurboPascal and also Pascal/MT+ in the work environment and finally tossed the disks (a few were the 8 inch disks) in...
James, Your talents would be greatly appreciated to furthering the project! I also like your idea of the FPGA as it might be a solution to one of my concerns...
I have read several mail here and also in other groups about that. Maybe with Vista no more parallel port will be present on our future PC. Will it be really a...
... I have a floppy-disk-less DOS-booting PC that can read my USB thumbdrive. I used the "motto hairu" USB driver (Google for mhairu.zip) with the config.sys: ...
... with ... your ... Not to sound sarcastic, but have fun getting plug-n-play USB Wifi adapters to work under DOS. Most don't even bother to write DOS...
Hi, Robert: In the future, you'll see a dual computer system. The "first" computer will be a small package that possibly runs under NO operating system. This...
Dave K. is alive and well. He has told me development is still important to him and hinted at something new in the works which sounded very exciting. I don't...
Hello, I've tried finding a solution to my problem for the last few hours but have still come up lost, which is why I resorted to asking here. I got a new PC...
Completly agree with you Jerry. But my idea was that for hobbyist, to keep the cost low, what you call the "small" computer could be an old PC on DOS. It cost...
Personnaly I use W98 on the PC which is linked to the CNC. So I boot with windows to do all the copy or transfer of the iso files. USB, CD ROM, Wifi card,...
It is certainly because your drive is formatted in FAT32 to allow big size hard drive (more than 4Go if I remember well). I your hard disk is less than that,...
