Deckel Retrofit FP4A

Yes, a 7I97TM + a 7I77 or 6I25+ 7I77 would be  options.
( + a Step/Dir  daughtecard or parallel port breakout
if you add a step/dir drive later)

For my lathe I used 7i92-->7i85 to interface the encoders and smart serial daughter boards (7i84+7i83+7i73).

On the Maho I went for 5i25+7i77+7i84. I didn't use a 7i73 in the control head, and regretted it.

So this works, thank you for confirming this.
I refrain from suggesting stuff i did not try, despite being fairly sure it works.

I am aware the 7i97T would be the best option, and 7i77 with any FPGA, but finding those has become "unobtanium" , and the above combo is usually in stock.

Sorry, but i lack with english shorts. What is PCW?

Not an English short, PCW is a member of this forum and owner of Mesa everything, he is extremely helpful, always.

Lol. So not what, but who

anyway, thanks for your proposals. I will check for available combos and see if they can be delivered soon here. I want to start working on machine
