What is interesting is that during this time span, I had acquired an NC
driller/router for my PC shop! I don't think the dremel tool will
withstand the sidethrust for very long to do
routing, but that is kind of what I would like to do ... assuming there
is still enough there to get it working!

used a dremel tool for the drill ... and that drill along with the scope
and control program was included for programming and drilling holes. So
far, I haven't found any schematics for the unit but I will try and get
in contact with the person that had the stuff and find out what they
know. From the nametags on the equipment, it was used by a local company
to fabricate some of their products.
Wow, excellent find. My first job out of college was doing sysadmin
work for a company that had a number of mold building shops with large
CNC machines--mostly Fadals. I'd have never guessed that Tandy Color
Computers were used for that type of work. Nice find.
