They cost a bit more, and tend to be not as easy to wire. It's much easier to switch between firmwares and configs with those boards, as the firmware is reloaded every time LinuxCNC starts up. I think there are some firmwares that can't run on the *i25 boards. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
