But thats for a pi. And Peters site won't let me access the manuals this morning for some unk reason. As it was shown last night, I saw the ethernet support on most of that line was limited to ten Mbit. 100Mb would be MUCH better. And since the 7i76d is designed to be a daughter to a 5i25, and has its own SSI buss for more I/O, I looked without success for an accessory card that would give me the extra encoders. Or maybe if this has a pci buss skot, I could used the 5i25/7i76 combo if Peter could put together a 5i25 file putting its two encoders on P2. I need at least 3 to run that lathe, and the 7i90 gives me 4. And I already have it even though this copy has been noise damaged, there is enough I/O left to do it nicely. All in due time Andy, the pi hasn't died yet. And this isn't shipping either. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
