Cost might be an issue. When the entire computer costs $35, adding $30 to the total is quite a bit. But I'm also thinking in terms of volume and space. With Ethernet I'd need a switch and that increases the volume by maybe 30% I am thinking about Machine Kit as a motion controller, for

I don't know why you'd want to use that when the 7i92 is available. You're using a parallel port or serial, which has significant bandwidth and latency issues compared to ethernet. 7i92's only $30 more so I doubt cost is a big factor here. But, pretty sure it'll work with LinuxCNC. For

I use the Mesa 7i92. It is EXCELLENT. I prefer it over PCI solutions just because I can keep the controller separate from the PC without a lot of wiring. It works fine with my 1ms servo-thread. I have no reason to see if it goes further. It offloads all the pulse generation for the
