Subject: Re: Beeb CNC Interfacing Systems?

 

Hi Austin. I actually have another Beeb with the Boxford CNC software
on it, which appears to be a single ROM + discs + a dongle. No mention
of "CNC Interfacing Systems". So I reckon this must be for something
else. The previous owner thought he'd heard a mention of a milling
machine in relation to this Beeb.
-Neil.
