OK, that is reasonably close to what I'm getting, considering the greater I/O points. I can run up to 10 KHz with one of my UPC or USC boards with on-motherboard PP on a 600 MHz pentium II. I can go to 5 KHz with 2 UPC's, so that's 8 axes 16 digital outs and 31 digital ins, on the same machine. I can probably go to 10 KHz with 2 boards with a PCI parallel port and a little faster CPU.
