Matt Shaver has just commisioned me to start work on this. His scheme,
to do it in
minimum time, is to use ISA and the standard US Digital encoder
counters.
Any comments?

Jon,
in reality this approach makes the most sense, but i don't like it anyway:).
The interesting thing to think about is that Plxtech has a board where you
take your isa board and plug it in to their pci board in preparation for
porting the isa board over to pci. So any work you do on the isa board
would not go down the tubes if you could use this approach.

I have come to like the idea of replacing the us digital chips with pics,
but i'm not sure how many axes one could read reliably with a pic. are you
planning an 8 axis board?
