The only possible reason to prefer the 5i20 would be if you need a card that can easily use a different bitfile when started from a different configuration. (The 5i24 and 6i24 use a flashed-in bitfile that can only be changed by using Mesaflash). Typically the bitfile only ever gets changed i the daughter-cards get changed. > Is this a correct approach? Sounds good. My current lathe build uses a 6i24 and 7i49 with a 7i44 connected to 2 x 8i20, 7i73 and 7i84. The 6i24 does work with LinuxCNC. It uses 5i24 bitfiles. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
