Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] BDI EMC first task - stupid questions.

Hi Jon, Sven Peter

Sensoray do a four axis card for ~$500. Looking at the manual, it does not look
toooo difficult to modify the STG drivers.
I would like to have a go at porting the drivers - IF Sensoray would answer my
emails, I'd order a card to play with.
Servo To Go on the other hand, are very quick in responding to any email and
they also have a Linux expert. I think I shall wait for a couple of months and
see if STG announce a PCI card around the same price as Sensoray.

Regards, Paul.
