with the creation of Brett's new usb controller I believe I will be much happier.

Bill, I think you have mistaken me for perhaps Greg Cary, inventor of the Smooth Stepper. Would be a good choice I think. you can order one here  http://www.warp9td.com/index.php

for a controller , take a look at http://www.dynomotion.com
kmotion controller with added  snapamp 1000 driver etc

ok not cheap ,uses USB and is configurable & programable for just about everything you need , or would want to do
oh and support for Mach is included

you can pick up shaft encoders on Ebay ( renco rm21 )  for around $85 each , now all you need are some motors and probably a power supply

nice going it'll be a beast once you get it up and running
i'm working on a similar sized co2 laser , retrofiting the electronics
