The SERVO software is standard G-code as far as the interface goes.
DOS based and I assume it is pretty old.

the controller has 4 slots and can accept 4 cards. I think the PC
downloads the program to the controller as there is a keypad on the X
axis servo. it is really a pendant with cord, but resides on a
holder/cradle on the motor.

once the program is started, all the commands, are run from either
the keyboard or the pendant.

the PC to controller is a simple serial cable.

I'm finishing my stepper mount brackets tomorrow so I'll get another
look at it, and probably open it us to see what is inside. I think
I'll bring the camera. : )
