Hi Andy,

They are later '80s so could be sine/cos wave outputs, still yet to look at them.
must look at all the updats in EMC, the little boxford is on a version atleast 5yrs load that run the mill till two years ago.
My Mill which was origainly on EMC, is now on a version 2yrs old.
We have had some great work of them, much of our solarcar which came 3rd in the FIA Sasol South African solar challenge '12 was made with using EMC2 driven machines.

The plan is to install the cards in a pc at home, pop the set-up on my current standard brigdport to test. then move either the Montec or the Mase setup over to the Interact. The interact is more of a cnc than the other bridgport, with auto changing and speed etc. It also has a joystick/ pendulum (no hand wheels), so whilst it cna just be driven off the keyboard, it will be useful to get that working.

thanks
Graham
