Think im right in thinking the native Boxford equiptment used BBC micro's. which im sure you will agree are long since any use to man or beast.Matt
If it is of any use to you, I have a BBC computer that you could have. However, I suggest throwing the electronics in the bin and rebuilding with a Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone, or arduino as the controller. There are hundreds if not thousands of ways to do it, and I am sure that someone has already done something similar. I recently bought a co-ordinate measuring system which I intend to convert for 3D printing, with a working volume of about 1.5m^3.
