Another user asked about this card back in september. Here's a link to
the thread:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30619308&forum_id=6435
This is what I wrote at the time, after reading some of the
documentation:

| (it's in english; other languages from here:

| if the protocol is as described on page 28 (PDF page 30) then
| it uses a very different method of communication with the PC, compared
| to traditional "step and direction" steppers.
|
| It would be possible to create an emc2 component that translates
| position commands into the right parallel port signals, but it would be
| a considerable effort. "stepgen", the component that creates signals
| for traditional "step and direction" systems, is about 1000 lines of "C"
| code. The new component for an smc800 would probably be of similar
| complexity.
