I'm not sure what you mean by servo board. I have a semi-kit for
a servo amplifier, see
http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~jmelson/CNCconv.html
and http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~jmelson/CNCconv.html
and http://206.19.206.56/picosrvo.htm

I am also working on a parallel port-attached set of boards to connect
both servos and steppers (eventually) and encoders to EMC (or other
control software). I have just gotten the first boards back from the
fabricator. The prototypes worked with some DOS test programs.
Another CAD_CAM list member has written a Linux test program for
these units, and that works, now, too. So, now we need to get the
actual drivers for EMC written and tested. It shouldn't take too much
longer. No link yet! I'll try to post some more info on these soon.
