I think you may be starting from the wrong end of the system. Servos and controllers are expensive, so see what you can find at a good price. Work out the size you need for your machine, then find the servos and motors. Second-hand might be a good choice for your own machine. Brushless servos don't really wear out. Once you have the motors and drives, then we can advise on how to drive them. Keep the laptop as a laptop, and buy a cheap motherboard to run your CNC machine. I spent about £2000 on my machine and conversion, the £60 Atom motherboard was almost the cheapest part. > 2.

But the P-Port isn't the best interface, it is just possible to drive it very directly for good realtime performance. > 3. I live in Indonesia, are there any LinuxCNC hobbyist nearby?
