We can't open that ebay order URL, BTW. I made a 7i92 breakout board that holds the card, provides 5v and 24v power, set up all my AM882H drives on 10-pin ribbon IDCs for greatly simplified wiring, optos in the problematic inductive prox sensors, and made a DB25 connection to be a harness for all the accessory wiring (homing, estop, etc). Screwed a few things, had to do some rework, but totally worth it.
