Where to start with Mesa 7i92 + 7i85S

Hello techrat, glad to hear of the success.

I am trying to achieve the exact same thing, a Prototrak MX3 with Mesa 5i25 and a 7i85s.
Do you have any of your configuration files for what youve done here? Also, any other suggestions on how to do this? Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

Hello, new to this, interesting reading.
I have accidently broken a Prototrak MX3 with AGE3 by putting 230v into 115V input in the computer box, stupid, yes!. I will change blown fuses and see if it's totally fubar or not.
What would be the easiest way to change the  the whole electronics out and put in linuxcnc if the servo motors are ok, what would i need?
Ie drivers and boards? What combinations of boards and how many? XYZ 
Best regards Johan
Edit:
Only broken component was a Varistor, except for fuses...
Up and running, everything marked with yellow tape "115V", even inside on the power supply.
Strange enough the old broken one was strapped "230V".

See what is briken first. If you need new servo drives then the nature of those will determine what the rest of the system will look like.

Do you know if your servos use encoders, resolvers or tachometers?

There was only a vdr resistor, that one is changed to a new one.
The machine is up running again with AGE 3.
So the servos can be kept.

Does that mean that the LinuxCNC conversion is not required, or just that you now know that all the hardware works?

It means that I now have a fully functioning hardware and want to know what to do to make it run linuxcnc, ie what mesa boards is the best to use. I will check also what boards is in the machine, if it's possible to use them as is.
