RE: Help with servo control

Jim;

I looked at purchasing a new Milltronics about three years ago and again
last year. (Politics forced us to select another brand). I remember
talking to the engineer at Milltronics about the computer. I was told that
the main board is really just a motherboard from a normal desktop computer.
You might try calling the folks at Milltronics, as I found them very open
and helpful. Start with their website.
