Yes, I've got my parallel port motion control.  It is a piece-by-piece set, so you only buy
what you need (4 axes at a time).  the digital I/O has opto-isolated inputs and mounts the
solid state relays right on the board, saving you an external Opto-22 mounting board.

There's WAY more involved than just extintf.c - but I've already done it.  I'm just
finishing up the last tweaks to get it working with the latest BDI CDROM.

My DACs are 16 bits, and the encoder counter is 24-bits.

Could be me, but there are others talking about it.
