Upgrading this
older DOS control console to Linux software with the CPU10 motion
control card is possible but discouraged. Software
development has ended for
the Linux operating system AND Linux compatible mother
boards are becoming less common. The price is lower than option

Please consider option 2. QUOTE3.PDF

Option #4
Upgrade your M15 control
to windows based
M-39 |
|
| Centroid's model M15 CNC control was
their lower price CNC control option. Many versions did not control
the spindle or coolant. M15 controls were mostly found on Knee
mills. |

Centroid is now
providing an upgrade solution that reflects
the lower cost nature of the M-15. We supply you with a new PC computer, hand
held jog pendant, and current generation motion control hardware in
a pre wired electrical enclosure. Centroid has installed the same external connectors found
on your M-15 console making this a plug and play solution. QUOTE4.PDF
