The card from Boondog is a parallel port card with 3 ports. Very easy to use for experimenting. Good documentation. URL = The stepper driver from Space Time Productions has been a disappointment so far. The card is well made but except for a schematic of the board, documation is nonexsistant. Simon has been good at returning my email questions, but his software to run his board is written in Forth. I have some 450 oz/in motors which need 3.5v @ 3.5a that I want to use on the bp clone. I have one installed one the X axis with a 2 to 1 reduction and the best table speed I can get is ~8 ipm. Pretty slow for positioning. I'm running it with a simple Qbasic prog. The timing loop is a short as I can get it without motor chatter (~60rpm). I'm open to suggestions. Simon's URL = Dan Mauch's driver card would be great but I don't think it will handle these low voltage motors. Bob At 09:12 AM 5/8/99 -0500, you wrote:

Boondog say that the parallel port card is coming soon?? Or did you mean the 8255 card?
