Hello, Steve

Thanks for that fast reply.
I will have to see what I will do than.
As all my servo's are driven with +-10v AMC amps and as I'm doing that retrofit as a hobby I would like it not to be too expensive.
I have then two choices:
1) I  go to the mesa and EMC2 (seems very reliable but linux and all the EMC settings scares me a little)
2) I will probably have to choose an other board for mach 3 like the DSPMC but it will be more expensive.
Or do you know of a board that suit the two wolds to try both?
What would be your advice?
Thanks
Patrick

Hello,
I'm on the way to retrofit an old milling center I would like to use mesa 5i20 cards but as I will end with 4 axis, a 21 tools rotary tool changer + the spindle speed an direction and many other IO's,
one 5i20 card will not be enough.
EMC is able to drive more than one 5i20 card. Is it possible to drive more than one 5i20 card with mach3 too?
Thanks
Patrick
