Best place to ask that is on the list. Jan Rowland made something
like that using a Commodore Pet to control it.

Do you mean Hard Drive IDE interface? The Amiga 1200 has a built-in
IDE interface, and the older style Amiga 4000. IDE cards for Amigas
are difficult to find.

There is the CMD hard drive interface for the C64/128, but I'm not
sure if it is IDE or SCSI. I just got one, I should go look at it.

Sounds funny to hear of an A4000 called old. Still have my 2500...

I remember trying to explain how I was pulling screens down, (to 
access different apps in the Amiga multitasking setup) to someone 
using DOS. We were working jointly on a project, by phone and modem. 
I didn't understand that he didn't understand, because for me MT was 
no big deal... Finally it hit me that he was confined to one app at a 
time...

Thanks for the memories, and the shoulda,coulda,woulda's of Amiga's,

Ballendo

I have stacks of Amiga 500, 2000, and a few 1200, 3000, and 4000.

They are so well documented and smoothly multitasking, there must be a
way to put these things to use in a mill/drill or motion control.

I am very sure it can be done.

TurboCNC is a DOS program written in in, I think, Pascal.

For $30.00 you get the source code.

It should not be hard to port the half dozen functions needed for PCB 
work.

X/Y location.
drill.
possibly feed rates if you want to etch.
possibly feed rates if you want to mill oversized holes.

Dave

And for simpletons like me who've only programmed in Basic, Ace Basic
has been out for many years, and recently Amos Pro has been released.
I also just got the original full Amos Pro with books.

I have also seen Linux programs ported to Amiga, usually requires a
few other things installed.
