Re: upgrade

Roger,
You are running servos, right? I think that Scott is running steppers
on his machine, so the 320s won't work. Unless I am missing something?

Not sure if my dilemma applies to this because you are speaking of
quadruture data instead of step/dir from Mach2. I believe that the
BOSS control will accept quadruture data via one of the headers/ports
on the XDI or ERS boards...I'm no expert either. Maybe my issue
applies regarding my BOSS5 as well.
