I'm considering installing a TNC355 on my late 80's FP4NC. It came with a broken down very early Dynapath that I really don't want to get involved with. My question is just how well the TNC355 would perform today with CAM software. I don't intend on doing any great amount of surfacing so if it's a bit slow that's not a big deal, but I would want to be able to reliably drip feed large files. Any opinions on the idea of installing this particular old controller? How is it to operate for general work? This will be a retirement hobby machine so I don't want to spend too much, but I also don't want to go the LinuxCNC type route. After 30 years of using a Dialog 11 I want an industrial hardened control that I know is going to work without bizarre bugs, as I no longer have the patience to be constantly piddling around to keep a PC functioning.
