I assume your box needs to be told how many steps to move, and how fast
to make them. How do you handle the acceleration, let the PC program it
in a series of short moves until it reaches speed?
If your box has a nice clean interfce so I can poke values to it by a
simple driver, or even the BASIC equivalents of PEEK and POKE, then it
shuold satisfy my needs jsut fine.
I am very anxious to hear the specs of your box and know when it will be
real.
