HI,
With *B*lack Friday on/coming I need a recommendation for
a motherboard that has good latency and a rock solid EPP
port. Servo application so that should relieve some of the
constraints. It needs to work with Jon's upwm and Peter's
7i34. Naturally it also needs to be currently available.
Any help would be massively appreciated. I'm getting too
old to fight iffy hardware.
My go-to is some of the older Dell Optiplex machines. You
can get these on eBay for $70 delivered with a little
patience. Avoid any with the i810 graphics, it causes
crashes and hangups. You would need a PCI plug-in graphics
card to override that.
Anything up to the Optiplex 980 is fine, after that they
dropped the built-in parallel port.
For machines with PCIe, I get the Syba SD-PEX10005 card.
Jon
