Cool, I bought my laptop with one of the justifications to use it with my mill so i could set the mill up where ever I wanted and use the laptop to run it. Got the laptop with XP on it and it didn't work. Asked the manufacture and they say to buy that Direct I/O or use Win9X. $1,800 for a mill and I have to buy something to make it work! I was just about to buy a license for Direct I/O. Good timming. I will see if this will work instead.

Anyway, sorry for the offtopic modtheplanet.
