how to upgrade CNC10 to a new computer
I have an old Pentium III computer that died and now need to replace the computer. Can I upgrade the to a new computer (ie. HP 8200) with a i3 processor with the CNC10 Linux software. Can this Linux softer run on a newer computer?

Re: how to upgrade CNC10 to a new computer
Unfortunately, the only way to find out would be to test it out but if I was going to guess, I would say that you are going to find out that it will not work. Newer motherboards aren't compatible with the Linux kernel that your CNC10 software is built on. That is one of the reasons why Centroid switched their CNC11 systems to Windows based as the majority, if not all, motherboard manufacturers are compatible with Windows.
When requesting support, please ALWAYS post a current report. Find out how to take a report from your Acorn, CNC11 or CNC10 system here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecvg0VJp1oQ.
If your question is PLC, Macro or program related, please also post a copy of the program or macro as well.
