Re: Brushless Servo Drives - Non Step/Dir Input

Thanks Dean, I did visit Rutex and traded email with them. Looks
like a good solution for what I am trying to do. Evidently, they are
in Austrailia and don't have any US distributors so you order direct.
I didn't see the 997 before so that is a lot of help. So, if I pick
up some brushless drives I should be able to make them work either
way. cheers.
