Greetings,
I've only been subscribed to this exploder for a couple of days so I
apologize if this question has been asked before.
Is anyone successfully using a NeTpower (MIPS based CPU, not Intel)
workstation with Stratasys' QuickSlice (specifically 5.0) software? We
recently purchased a Stratasys FDM-2000 and would like to use a
dormant
NeTpower workstation as it's controller/server. This workstation would
also
be used to create .stl files from Pro/E and then convert them with
QuickSlice. According to Stratasys' "Workstation Requirements"
document for
QuickSlice 5.0, only Intel based processors are supported under
Windows NT.
I spoke with our regional AE from Stratasys and he believed we would
be
able to run the software and suggested that I try loading and running
it.
Before I go to that extent I wanted to see if anyone else was doing
this.
Another caveat is that Windows NT 3.51 is the last supported
operating
system for this particular workstation and future versions of
QuickSlice
(beyond 5.0 from what I'm told) will require a minimum of Windows NT
4.0.
Nevertheless we'd like to put this workstation to use now and upgrade
to a
new workstation in the future (if needed).
Also, are the messages sent to this exploder archived anywhere? Is
there a
FAQ?
Thanks,
