I know my way around linear motion components so am sure I could repair any mechanical issues that arrise since there will likely be no support with the closure of the company. My question is, If I buy it, what are my options software wise to interface with it. Also if there are any "Ivan" owners on here can they send me some tip on possible powering it up and maybe running a home routine and a test fire? Is there a way to access the DSP and read how man hours are on the tube?
Any help would be appreciated.

Marc,
G.Weike was the actual manufacture for many of the Hurricane Lasers, hopefully they will provide access in order to download the software, manuals etc...
