If you have a 5i25 then you can add a second 7i76 on the second header
for 9 step/dir interfaces.
(though that is overkill and a 7i85S would do the job)

If you use a 7i76E as the main card you can add 2x 7i85S to have 13
step/dir channels (and a bunch of unused encoders that can be
configured as generic 5V differential inputs)
