Could this board be a contender for a cheap alternative for simple applications?

Browsing the web for CNC gear made me fall over this board from Rocketronics.
Couldn't resist so I ordered a board
Micropod1  
Harware is 25 EUR , including Beamicon2 Basic software (However I hope it can be ported for LinuxCNC in some way) <

brief overview of most of the features:

PC software "Beamicon Basic" included, no extra licence costs!
Professional hardware with high interference immunity
With network interface for stable and interference-free data transmission
Connection also via network switch, direct connection to PC not necessary
Fast 32-bit microprocessor generates motor signals independently of the PC
Robust real-time timing, clock frequency up to 1.6 MHz (all axes simultaneously)
Operating voltage 5V
Outputs for 4 axes, X, Y, Z and A
6 TTL inputs (5V) e.g. for reference switches, 1 of which for emergency stop
4 digital TTL outputs, one of them PWM output for spindle control
Supports current reduction and status signal of the output stages 
With pin header socket

Hello

I'm using the same controller and I might be able to assist.
The attached PDF file is all the documentation I received / I could find online.

The board seems to use a custom protocol - not TCP/IP based, I can see the MAC of the controller board.

The current control software is ~ a pain - i need to keep a specific windows 10 virtual machine to run it.
There's no linux support.
I've been thinking for some time to rip it out and replace it with a MESA 7i96S or something similar.

If you think there might  be any interest in this controller, please point me to a list of thing to prepare - protocol capture via wireshark / data dumps between the CPU and the ethernet controller, etc.
