Beating my Head Against Antique Computer Wall.
The Dell Optiplex 960 that controls my mill is an antique. I have been trying to upgrade to the latest version of LinuxCNC, but that requires an AMD64 processor or equivalent. This Dell is a 686 processor which doubtless explains the bizarre problems with upgrade. I do not need fast or powerful for this. As long as I can install a Centronics parallel port in it I am good. I should be able to buy something used, cheap, and with a tiny footprint for this.
