PowerRoute software notes

English pointers from the local cncu.co.za mirror (T:\U\C\PowerRoute-CNC-Router). No pricing. Firmware ZIP/binaries are not copied into this KB (URL + local path only; see drivers/powerroute-firmware-index.md). Copied English manuals live under sources/manuals/powerroute/ (components/, software/). Newer wins. Support WhatsApp +27 60 600 7000.

The local PowerRoute tree is thin: no extra English PDF books beyond the two Syntec mill manuals already staged. Remaining English set this pass is the SBM AL301C servo note plus English (_COM) Syntec backup XML and the OpenInstaller config.
