Only problem is that the Optiphase card only works with their
software (although there is a SDK to write your own) so you need
their software packages to use it. It puts out 4 channels of 26Khz
max (if I remember right) signals. I does have the motor drivers on
the card but the voltage and current specs are low.

Since I converted to parallel port drive on my engraving machine I
have a surplus Optistep Plus card for sale and their DOS based
engraving software package. The Optistep is a 35KZ output and limit
switch input card but needs external motor drive modules. I will take
50 bucks for the pair, It is an ISA buss card so you will need to
use an older computer.
