Yes, to test galil cards I either use a different hard drive or set up a restore point. Install Galil, test the card. Either roll back to before the restore point or go back to the other hard drive. If doing the restore point, use Galil WSDK because its 32 bit. Galil tools is 64 bit.

I brought the wdsk a few years ago when it needed a password its now free (I think).
Your'e argument above is very valid I am beginning to think (even though they do a diy version) That its possibly out of my price range for what is only a hobby.
Both companies camsoft and artsoft do a professional and a hobbiest version but internet support for mach 3 is huge where as camsoft is just not there yet.
So perhaps I will go back to Mach 3 many thanks Karl.
