Thanks Andy that is good to know. I was just thinking about the set up as I understand it (i.e. the Mesa card replacing my parallel port connected directly to the Geckos). It seems like the encoders would have to connect to the Mesa card to benefit from any increased encoder bandwidth. Am I missing something?
