Re: digital servo controller to offload the Parallel Port?

Les,

I understand that emc uses the low cost of the mass produced PC to great
effect.   It just seemed Till knew where a performance limit was when
using the parallel port, and I was asking.  I have not played with an
emc driven machine yet.  Is there anyone in  Austin TX using one?
