pretty slow since they are only updated at the servo thread rate (say 1 to 5 
KHz)

On the 7I76, If you need PWM and you are not using all 5 step/dir pairs, you 
can use the step/dir outputs and a custom config that includes hardware PWM 
generators wired to these pins.

Also if PFM (Pulse frequency modulation) will work you can get that out of a 
stepgen directly (set the step length to say 10 usec, the step space to 0
and use the stepgen in velocity mode) now setting the velocity from 0 to 100
KHz will give you 0 to 100 % duty cycle


You can also use the serial exapnsion port on the 7I76 or 7I77 for PWM out
if one channel is enough (thsi requires a custom configuration)
