It seems to me that some of the initial testing of the EMC was with the 
Galil motion card???

These kinds of cards do much of their own motion processing as a hard 
wired thing.  I believe that you need to read a config file and send that 
info to the card as a part of setup.  This is a very different animal than 
the STG which is designed to make stuff like I/O and encoder position 
available to the PC itself.

HTH but probably not much.
