Both the chips to fix the cnc4pc C41, and the new controller were handed 
out of a passing USPS mini-truck about 3 hours ago.  So the C41 is 
outputting the proper signals again, toggling the correct relays etc.
Now I have to put it all back together so I can tie the wires up out of the 
works & see how it spins.  That I assume I may be able to do after I take 
Dee out and fit her for a nose bag since its about din-din time of the 
evening here.  So, a promise of progress. ;-)

That controller looks well built.  A 25 amp rated PWM controller for $150 
doesn't seem that that bad a deal from this viewpoint.

Cheers, Gene
