I do not have access to that machine, so there is no way for me to check. BTW how can I do it? I have never tried to find out, what BIOS version any of my PCs is running. 2011/6/30 Neil <[email protected]>: > Maybe I over-simplified. It's sort of a glorified breakout.

Just like Andy mentioned - it is a lot more than just a breakout board. 1) it provides You with 48 I/O pins (each pin being input or output is user-definable) on a single LPT port; 2) You can run different functions on the FPGA chip of the card - step generators, PWM generators, encoder counters etc and have them. Running step generator on FPGA chip has several advantages compared to usual software step generation on LPT port. 2011/6/30 Dave <[email protected]>: > Neil, > > If you are going for cheap, consider using a 8 gig Compact Flash Card in > a Sata to CF card adapter. > > I have a few running in machines now for a couple of years with zero issues. I also have this solution, but I feel suspicious about its reliability. I have to admit that there haven't been any problems yet and it is really cheap to acquire.
