Hi Hoyt

I dare say BDI could be transfered to floppies - Lots of them....
The standard BDI occupies some 540Mb, whilst BDI-TNG just about fills two
CDs. With only a 200MHz processor, I wouldn't recommend the TNG as it does
not have steppermod - Pity really, as you could have done an upgrade on top
of the RH7.1.
For running stepper motors, the parallel ports are used to output the
step/dir signals. Servos can either use Jon's parallel port interface or a
Servo To Go card.

Regards Paul.
