Andy, I will look into this. I believe I had a conversation with Peter a while back about getting a raster into Mesa cards. I plan on pursuing that. Right now I have my servo thread rate jacked up higher on my laser to get a little more detail. A hardware version is a must for an industrial grade high speed engraver.
This stream type would be our way into programming a hardware raster.
