There is also the FlyingBone Cape which was released under Creative Commons so you could use it in your own design:

Bas has designed the BeBoPr board, as others have mentioned. I purchased one from him and actually have it in-hand, although I'm not yet to the point of hooking it up (I'm still watching pins twiddle on the 'scope). There is also another cape being designed that just won the BeagleBone Cape Design Contest: The Replicape: http://beagleboard.org/CapeContest/winners/ Both of these are geared towards driving a 3D printer, but on the BeBoPr at least, there is a header that brings out the step/dir and enable lines for hooking to a beefier stepper driver than is typically used for the 3D printers. A breakout card hooking the BeagleBone I/O signals to more conventional DB25 connectors with some buffering and protection is a fairly trivial exercise. I'll do this if it comes to it and no one else beats me to it, but first the 'Bone needs to turn into a useful platform for LinuxCNC.
