Only way is with one of the boards previously mentioned but how good they are at it or how easy to get them (if at all) I dont know. I would email CNC Teknix and ask if they have anything that would do. Better to keep the original drives if you can but if not it looks like the Geckos or Tek10's may not be such a drop down in performance that we first thought. I know the Geckos are excellent stepper drives but have heard their servo drives are not in the same class but they are still good. The Tek10s are more expensive but they do have more features.

Rutex is showing a R2040 +/-10v converter at the bottom of the page. I have not used one of these.

Heck Hood I've looked at it 4 times since you posted that they may have something and I overlooked it every time. That means I must be older than you. Now that I know that, I'm really pissed that your younger than me and have that much knowledge. Did you by chance look the specs over on that board and care to venture an opinion. I dont know enough to venture an opinion and the lady already said I had shown my stupidity enough and for me to shut up and eat supper.

Well it certainly looks like it would do the job, just strange that there doesnt seem to be anyone reporting using them. Maybe I will join the yahoo group for Rutex and see if there is any info or feedback there.

I joined the Rutex yahoo group so I could download the manual for the 2040 analog output card.  I have the PDF now if anyone is interested.

Is that the same manual that is on the Rutex site? The one there covers all of the 20*0 series.
