This might well prove to be a non-issue eventually anyway. 16 IO Pins doesn't go that far once you start thinking "If only" so you are quite likely to end up buying an extra parallel port card or a Mesa card anyway. Having said that, a standard parallel port is fine for 3 axes + limit switches with PWM spindle control, it is only if you want to separate the limits and home switches, run remote pendants or have a spindle encoders that the pin count starts to look tight. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
