Aram,
Check: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?FiveAxisGantry
This is done with 2 m5i20 cards.
The 'bench system' works.  That is 6 drives and motors connected to the
m7i33's and m7i37's. 
The m5i20s seem to be detected in random order by the computer (the same
each boot!). 
It was just a simple test to figure which one was #1.  Maybe someone with
more Linux experience knows a better way.
Anyway, 2 m5i20's are no problem.

Subject: [Emc-users] 2x 5i20 cards, how to set additional axis

Hi
I build system with 2 5i20 and 2 analog cards. I am looking for direction
into to activate 6 axis. I did add axis last year with help of Steve. This
time I will document every single click of how do that because it will be
part of my theses for my school.
Anyone who do not like me personally please do not respond!
Thank you
Aram.
