Having a motion card implies that the card has some built in intelligence which have step/direction or some kind of positional data input. EMC2 can integrate with step/direction motor controllers (not other data types though) but you loose much of the advantage of using EMC, such as using HALscope and HALmeter for tuning and troubleshooting. > The second, I want using a recommended hardware in my CNC machine.

That all depends on what parts of the current machine you want to reuse. We need to know the make and model of the machine, motors, drivers, etc. The more you can provide the better. Pictures would be nice too.

I think someone is working on this at the moment(?). > The fouth, I want using emc2 in a remote control with a interface runing on > windows emvironment, and core control runing in linux. what could i do that. You can use VNC to have a remote EMC session on a Windows (negative comments suppressed) machine.
