It is a programmable controller chip call the PIC servo that does the
intelligence for a low cost servo system.

[This looks interesting, Dan. Have you ever tried these out for controlling
servos? Has anybody here? I assume the $175 is per axis, but still, it
doesn't look that bad if that's all I'll need to retrofit my old mill to
accept unlimited g-code file sizes. Could it be that simple? Are these the
kind of boards that have their own chips onboard, so they can buffer the
input from the computer and real-timeness isn't an issue? Or is there
something I'm not taking into consideration here? I wonder how well the
control software that goes with these things really works...]
