Very good point.

Many people get confused with this distributor that is using a VERY
deceptive copy cat URL. Even worse he make it look as if he is Geckodrive
and has absolutely no indication that this is not true on the home page.

The distributor lists the G201a for $149 per axis. You can go to the real
Geckodrive site of the manufacturer and buy the G210a which is a G201a with
a pulse multiplier board added for $129 per axis. It will do everything the
G201a will do and has some extra features. The distributor is also listing
the other Gecko drives at $199 per axis and they can be purchased direct for
$99 or $129 per axis depending upon model.

Be warned. Personally, considering the support Mariss (the owner of the
company that manufactures the drives) has given the group I would suggest
dealing with him directly and just using a G210a in place of the G201a. Less
money, more features. I will not deal with a company that is deceptive.
