I see that it runs on MS-DOS. ? At first this might seem primitive. ? But if you have ever written any DOS software what's going on is your software runs on "bare metal". ? To use more modern terms, MS-DOS simply loads the software then runs it allowing complete root level access to the entire PC. ? There is not scheduler and OS to deal with. ??
To say this again on LinuxCNC terms, every MS-DOS program is in effect a real-time HAL module. ? ?
Yes it is primitive as it uses a full up Intel X86 as it it where a micro controller with no OS. ? But that might not be a bad thing for this application.
