Hello Alex I believe that better answer can give Peter Wallace and his e-mail "Peter C. Wallace" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://www.mesanet.com/ I called and talk to him about 2 months ago. So, that card 5i20 type 2 should be very close in time. 5i20 type 2 will be more expensive but it can control 8 axis because of additional 50 pins connector. I believe that there are some other electronics advantages in 5i20 type 2 in compare to general 5i20 and I am good in electronics details. I remember that breakout board about $ 25 and it seamlessly working with 5i20.

MESA electronics manufacture their own breakout board and I bought and use it. It is good. Second. MESA electronics in few weeks time will facture new type 5I20 board, 5i20 TYPE 2. The deference is that 5i20 type 2 will have 4-50 pins connectors instead of 3.

You need a spindle encoder of course. > Also, what do you use for breakout boards for the Mesa boards? This is some info I gathered a while back. * The Winford Engineering BRK2x25 is very nice, with 45 degree angled terminal blocks that make it easy to wire to either row of screws. They cost $45 each. http://www.winfordeng.com/products/brk2x25.php * The DaqStuff d-500013 has right angle terminals that make it more difficult to wire the left row of pins, but only costs $25 each. (Note: the "hard to wire" left hand row is the even numbered pins. If you are connecting to the 5i20, those are the ground pins, and the signals are on the odd numbered pins. If you are connecting to one of the 7iXX interface boards, check its documentation to see what is odd and even.) http://www.daqstuff.com/50_pin_breakout_500013.htm I haven't used either of the above boards yet, right now I'm using something I got at a local surplus place (bought an electrical enclosure for $25, got the breakout as part of the deal).
