I built a routing machine and spindle has a VFD, which is now operated

No, 5i25 is different from other Mesa pci cards, the firmware is
loaded and stored right in the card. When I purchased my 5

I will leave this for more knowledgeable users to comment.
Do You have a chance to attach the HDD and 5i25 to another motherboard

And that is it? No stepgens or pwmgens or encoder modules loaded?
Paste Your INI and HAL files somewhere for public review.

I have set up 2 machines with 5i25 and also with 5i23. I do not

I took a quick look at their homepage and their product descriptions.
Probably I missed something, but what is that additional functionality
