Controlling a CNC machine suggest a commercial application, which pretty much rules out the use of an obscure piece of overpriced HW with no support in this field running an OS ill-fitted for the task at hand. Pointing out something that obvious is a much "constructive" as critism can get when the orginal idea is weak as this one.

Those CMOS chips are sure nice, but putting them onto a big mobo has very very limited reallife applications, all require much more in support/service than anything Amiga can offer.

Even though Xena/Xorro has been highly criticized by many people who don't own an X1000, I am still confident that someone will come up with an interesting project that uses this one-of-a-kind interface for AmigaOS4.x.
...... it will be different in the way it is implemented, due to the unique interface that it is connected to on the X1000.  


Sofar all proposed Xena projects fell in (atleast) on of these categories:

- brainfart (AGA emulation and so on)
- better be done by the CPU or GPU (anything involving number crunching)
- could be done as well with just the XMOS chip
- could be done just as well or better with a XMOS-chip on an USB-module (I'll put the CNC idea here)

And thats pretty much what all the critism has ever been about, noone has been able to really justify putting that chip there.

Just curious why would a home hobbyist use a CNC rather than a 3D printer?


To produce anything that is more durable than a toy found in a Happy Meal ?

(as cyrus+ does not have audio onboard.... perhaps a xorro audiocard could be used.


Or just buy a 10$ soundcard supported by allready existing drivers...

Do you people have any better ideas on how next gen Amiga's can be innovative? If you don't like something and where it is going then do something about it. If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.


Or in other words:

"Since you can't come up with any good ideas, let us continue with some crap ones"


I see fault in that logik ;)
