When you post the video of LinuxCNC working on the box, could you also post a spec sheet for it.
You will need to indicate what the install process was, ie. a straight EMC2 2.3.0 LiveCD creation of a USB thumb-drive and booting from that untouched,
or has it required changes (new rtai kernel, realtime and emc2 re-build or whatever).
Was that latency test shot taken as soon as the dialog appeared, or is it a realistic loaded figure?
You will find a lot of the forum members are far more knowledgeable technically than your average Mach user
and that they are not interested in buying a 'box with promises',
but are open to considering the possibilities raised by a technically sound new piece of hardware.

1. install with liveCD directly no special step, but due the LAN chip is not in standard, so no internet in directl isntall, have to patch kernel or install LAN drive, the patch and driver is available.
2. the demo is use 2nd LPT port, the NCBox can have 2 LPT ports, 1st (port 278) is on rear side (physical) , the 2nd LPT (port 378) is use BIOS simulate to LPT port
3. boot device can be USB or CF card.
4. Any question are welcome.
5. Hardware spec.
CPU : PMX-1000 / Vortex86MX+ (933MHz)
RAM : 1GB DDR2 (on board)
Graphic : Integrated Graphics Chip
LAN : 10/100Mbps (PXE boot supported)

Operation temp : 5 - 50 Deg C
I got mine today, but LinuxCNC is not installed. I see it has Ubuntu 8.04 installed and the user name is dmp, I will need the user pass word to install EMC2.
Does this computer support Ubuntu 10.04?
