I don't think that it is necessarily the case even with parport-only systems. There seems to be an obsession with getting super-low latency and a concomitant belief that unless you can get into single-digit microseconds you might as well give up. In practice few stepper systems have hardware that can follow even a 50uS base-thread. I spend a lot of time on the forum saying "Stop fiddling, it's fine as it is, get on with something productive" -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
