Greg,

I've been asking how we can get a PCI card made specific to our DIY-
CNC needs for YEARS now. The answer has always been; it's too hard,
you have to license from this-or-that organisation, etc...

Email me offlist and let's talk. (BTW, getting gold fingers for the
PCB is not problem.)

Ballendo

P.S. The answer to why USB might be preferable to a PCI card is that
of intended customers...

Here, there'd be no problem selling a PCI card. But out "there"
there are STILL a lot of folks who do NOT want to open up their
computers. You lose tham as custoemrs when you require th ePCI card.
Or you lose your profits supporting them AS customers, out of their
perhaps undue fear leadinf to addtl problems.

Next, many folks with laptops don't have the capability to add a PCI
card.

Those are some reasons, but do get itn touch. I'll work with you to
bring a DIY-CNC PCI motion card to market.
