I have used both. If you need higher servo thread speeds (>2khz depending on hardware) Stick with pci/pcie.
The matsuura was converted using mesa ethernet. (7i80+lots of other daughter boards) while configuring the machine - the computer / mesa hardware was up for weeks on end - with linuxcnc running. Not one glitch. Very happy with all of peters hardware. sam On 01/13/2017 05:09 PM, Les Newell wrote: > I have a couple of rebuild projects coming up (a router and a milling > machine) and I am trying to decide between PCI or Ethernet.
