Without changing software, you are pretty much forced to go with
the step/direction input servo drives. The Gecko drives seem to be
a good choice.

If you want to change software, then there are several options. I
prefer EMC, it seems the most flexible. You can use a Servo-to-Go
card or my Parallel Port Motion Control cards. You will also need
encoders and servo amps. Sometimes these come up on eBay for
a good price.
