The 7i90 in SPI mode works well with the Raspberry Pi 4, and probably the Pi 3 too. (There's an issue with SPI on Pi on Debian Bookworm, but it works fine on Raspberry Pi OS Buster.)

6 available, for $60.

You have to flash one of the SPI firmwares on it, using mesaflash.

Two problems.
One: $249US and two: out of stock at the moment.

Mind you, so is the 7i92H but it was around $89 and with two Chinese BoBs at $5 
each comes in much cheaper.

So then the question is both require waiting.  A Pi4 isn't cheap either nor in 
stock.

And an ACORN CNC kit is $329.  Looks like in stock.

It's hard to convince someone to go the CNC route with LinuxCNC when all they 
want is simple 3 or 4 axis with none of the other amazing features that 
LinuxCNC offers.

Ah.  I forgot about that little tidbit.

SPI (Such as 7C80) ought to work though.
