This might have been mentioned on the MACH CNC group but the reality is that if you want LinuxCNC and two parallel ports the MESA 7i92 is less expensive and not tied to potential speed issues via USB. For example WIN-10 won't run the USB based Smooth Stepper but will run the Ethernet Smooth Stepper with MACH4.
So for LinuxCNC at $89 the 7i92H is just overall a better deal. Or any of the MESA or PICO based products. For all the costs involved in CNC the truth is during the learning curve part the broken tool bits and trashed work is far more expensive but considered part of the costs. Ethernet is faster and less likely to have timing issues. My 2 cents.
