Up to now, I haven't tried doing anything else on my PC during cutting with Mach3. The PC is not on the network and is a simple XP install. And I've got a USB motion controller.

I now want to set-up a music system feeding a bluetooth headset.

Do I build a single new system to cover Mach3 and music (windows7, Wifi, Bluetooth) ? The networking will be an advantage for gcode file transfers too.


I guess what I'd like is to hear from people that are successfully multi-tasking their PCs. That will give me confidence to give it a go (and do some air testing before cutting material).

cheers all,
