Thanks to both who suggested this. I'm looking at the 220 Nm ACL571157525M steppers and the SMD093064 controller x 3. The documentation doesn't show the method of connection to a PC. The sino glass scales terminate in one RS232 per each of the three axes. So, this "useful breakout board" which will accept 3 x whatever connectors the SMD controllers take plus the 3x RS232, presumably a PCI job? Any hints and tips much appreciated. The PSU is no problemo. TIA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
