An alternative to proprietary cnc systems?

An alternative to proprietary cnc systems?

Every few weeks a posting appears where someone is trying to find
parts for an obsolete cnc controller or proprietary parts at
something less than an arm and two legs.

I don't know if this is *THE* answer or even *an* answer, but it
may be helpful.

I am only posting the top part of the email I received.

Anyone have experience with this system? Anyone using it in
commercial/production operations? How does itcompare to the
dedicated Fanuc etc. controllers?
