Eric: I agree with Viesturs about the D510M0. I used to have one but turned it over to Stuart Stevenson during the last emc fest. I expect to get a D525MW or successor for my next project. Just a couple of points. First, the parallel port on the Intel D510M0 is not brought out to a back connector. You'll have to make or buy a cable that terminates on one end with a socket to match the internal connector (see the manual for location and pinout info) and on the other end with whatever you want. According to its manual, the D525MW does have a back connector for the parallel port. Second, there is an error in the BIOS code of the D510M0 that causes it to report its parallel port settings incorrectly. The port itself is working properly, but software like emc assumes the BIOS is telling the truth. Release 2.4.6 of emc2 includes a workaround for this. Viesturs...do you happen to know if the D525MW contains the same BIOS bug?
