No that is not my plan. It was my understanding that this is a non comercial
product at least as far as EMC is concerned.

The BOSS 6 is three axis stepper system and I plan to use the paralell port.
4000 steps per second will give me 120 inches per minute and that is good
enough for me.

I am still looking for a servo interface. I have a lathe that has servos and
I am running it with the ahha software with some step/direction input servo
output units.
The price is a little high to my way of thinking so I will keep looking.
