MrRodW's Secret ISO that ensures you have a perfect low latency setup. Complete with fully configured and installed ethercat master. On the initial boot, the PC will self configure itself with MrRodW's secret sauce so that it has the lowest latency possible and then it installs the ethercat master to the first Network Interface card found on your system.

This is a large file, too big to store here on our website, so we will instantly prepare a custom version just for you and email you a password protected  download link valid for 60 days.

Don't worry when installed, the system will reboot automatically one or two times to lock in all of our secret tuning settings.  No need to panic!
