UCCNC shuts down unexpectedly

[Kitwn]

One of the things I like about this 'old' HP laptop is the ability to easily swop the hard drive. I have a spare SS drive and a couple of old mechanical drives and I also have a dual external drive holder that can clone a drive to provide that "I wish I could go back in time to yesterday" option and avoid the tears that can sometimes result from upgrades and changes. A version of UCCNC for Linux would be a welcome addition though.

We have started a few days of blue sky and sunshine here in the middle of a Tasmanian winter so I'm working outdoors under instruction from The Head Gardener. I may go quiet for a few days on this thread but will be back in the workshop when the rain returns.

As always, I've already learned some very useful stuff from everybody's input so far.

I understand exactly what you are saying. I have an Evo N610c which has the same feature. That was my last one which had this easy swapping possibility. Mi later Probook 6470b was still fairly easy to swap HD in, but not as simple as the Evo. On the other hand, the Evo runs on XP only, while the Probook is fine with W10 pro 64-bits. That one is also old, but with enough memory and an SSD it is really fast.

That won't ever happen.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Even my Head Gardener wants me to be out more. We have summer here, so our body must harvest the sun...
