6i25 Availability

Does anybody have mesa 6i25-sp pci express card for sale? I can't find it on the web market at all. Is hardware manufacturing of linuxcnc based cards dead completely?

All the FPGA cards are being redesigned to use the available FPGA chips. Several have been done and are in stock. I think I recall that the 6i25 was on the list to be redesigned but don't know when. The 7i96S, 7i92T(H,M,F) and 7i95T are in stock as well as smart serial cards and other daughter cards.

For most applications you could replace a 6I25 with a 7I92TF and gain
isolation and ability to work with mini-PCs without PCIE slots.

Some parts used on a 6I25 have been unavailable for about 2 years
but are now slowly being replenished so we should have some fairly soon,

Finding of 6i25 reminds me the story about Water Chip from Vault 13

Could you please advise how can I integrate 7I92TF to my linuxcnc setup I mean (intel based motherboard)

7i92 is an ethernet board, so all it needs is a CAT5 or CAT6 network (internet) cable, very easy to find everywhere.

Thanks. Does it have an auxilary pin to turn on/off the spindle?

Mesa 6i25 and 7i92 have 34 inputs OR outputs, so they can do whatever you need, but they do not have terminals or explicit outputs for spindle.
Any pin on them can turn on or off a spindle or whatever else, but you would need to use a BOB to make wiring easier.

If you are running a step/dir system you might want to consider a 7I96S
as this is a single board solution.
