Hi, this appears to be a card that lets you control one motor at a time, which isn't very good for coordinated motion like is required on a mill. EMC2 cannot yet drive this kind of control, but a driver could be written by an interested person. It would be approximately as complex as stepgen, maybe a little more. I don't see a price but in my opinion it would have to be quite a bit lower than a comparable step/dir drive like Xylotex to justify the work required to support it.
