Thanks for the reply Jeff, Would I be better off at this stage to get something like the Mesa M5i20 card and learn to use that? It seems like it has a lot more capibility... My first attempt most likely will be with a couple of steppers or some used servos. BTW, I'm building a portable plasma table. I'm not too concerened with proper speeds yet just figuring out the parts of the puzzle so to speak.
