Re: Bridgeport Boss 6 Stepper Motors

Lee, you're right, these are speed/torque drives. The Ax2 and Ax4
boards from

www.studioferraris.it

are 369 EUR and 559 EUR respectively. One EUR is about $0.94 right
now. I think EMC does/will support these boards. These boards seem to
have more features than the servo to go board, but they are still ISA
based. They also have a PC104 expansion connector, so you could plug
a CPU board on and use it stand alone.
