Hi,
I want to use one Mesa 5i20 for a 6 axis servo controller. I thought
to use two 7i33 Servo Interface for axes. So i thought that i would be
using HostMot2's 8-channel servo plus 4 step/dir generators option.
However it writes 4step/dir generators, i don't need any step/dir
generators, so do i

Hi Caner,
Use the 7I48 which is a six axis card, this will open up one port for an
additional 24I/O.
Use the 5i23 card as it supercedes the 5I20, it has twice the number of
gates which will come in handy later.
