The Mesa FPGA card replaces the parport card, and in some cases also replaces the BoB. The 5i25 and 7i92 replace only the Parport card and would retain the same BoB. They can both be used with the same BoB as you currently use, or you could use a 7i76 (probably overkill) Alternatively you could look at a 7i96 or 7i76E which both connect to the ethernet port and replace both the parport card and the BoB. There are not any PCI cards which also directly replace the BoB, and none that replace the stepper drivers. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
