    I email one of the china sellers on the wonderful EBAY site to see what they said and they came back with that it would work, as long as I used a specific breakout board. Hmmm.

    New acquisition / project

    There's nothing like having the knowledge to use your machine without the use of a DRO, BUT............I love mine. They're quick, very accurate (assuming you do a good installation). It's hard to use the machine now that the DRO is installed. Quality of work increases 10 fold.
