Keil, Check http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Suppliers (see the Daqstuff in the Electronical list) for ribbon cable breakout boards. They are not quite as good as the $70 variety, but the price is a lot easier. They work really good with the Mesa boards. You can save a few bucks getting the kits and assembling your own.

Just wanted to make sure PWM (or PDM) up/down was possible with Mesa boards. For the money, I knew the 7i43 was a good deal with 8 encoders/8 PWM outputs plus additional unused FPGA space compared with Pluto's 4/4. Sebastian and Peter, thanks for Mesa hal drivers. Know I've got to figure out how deal with 50 pin IDC connectors, nice for clean Mesa board to board connections, but what a pain for homebuilt parts scrounging. I've got a butt load of old SCSI cables, cards and misc junk, so hopefully that will help with building stuff. I can't see spending $70+ for 50 pin screw connectors.
