Samco has an open-source step-direction servo drive (not EMC specific. but....) But, I think the difficulty of making your own boards for FPGAs, and then building them and testing them may have made this too complicated for the average tinkerer. Without a logic analyzer and an oscilloscope, if it doesn't work, it could be real hard to determine what is wrong. FPGA's generally can't be plugged into sockets, they have to be soldered to the board.
Also, the difficulty of making an IEEE-1284 (EPP mode) peripheral work with a wide variety of different parallel ports has kept me real busy over the last 8 years or so.
