So back for a bit, and have decided to get the D525MW w/1GB of RAM.
Placing order in the morning. I completely forgot about this
CF-to-IDE option, and will prob look into it later, but for now I'm
anxious to get something up and running. Incremental dev ;)
FWIW, I have 16 2.5" drives here

I think that You are close - I bought 3 exactly-looking Sata-to-CF
adapters on e-bay from chinese seller for 4 USD a piece (and I think
that price included the shipping, don't remember correctly).

If you are going for cheap, consider using a 8 gig Compact Flash Card in

Funny enough, my existing EPIA800 mobo started life ~8yrs ago as a car

hard bumps, so I got pulled into
Maybe I over-simplified. It's sort of a glorified breakout. My
understanding of the smoothstepper is that it is a motion control card
(ie: handles acceleration, etc), whereas I don't see that the 7i43
does that.

Coming to a similar conclusion. Mach3 has created a low-level driver
that accesses the parallel port directly, so won't work with USB to

However, you're right that Mach3 may not need EPP/ECP modes. More

It's rather more than that. The closest equivalent in the Mach3 world

For the incremental cost of the larger SSD you can very nearly buy a

I do have a SATA drive laying around, but really considering an SSD
since the PC is built onto the unit and will see some vibration.

As Visteurs said, Intel D510MO, 1GB of RAM, 8GB DOM SATA drive and a
PicoPSU makes a very good, no-moving-parts EMC2 machine with low

D510MO (and its new replacement D525MW) is definitely worth it.
Costing <100USD (and You get both - mainboard and CPU for that price)
they are very good for the job - latency number
Hi all,
New to this list. I've been working with some high schoolers doing
engineering/robotics stuff and we built a nice 3+ axis stepper driven
workcell ... http://www.veisystems.com/nose/rw.html .
Originally we set it up to work with a Mini-ITX motherboard, but it
does not like Ubuntu.
