If Im not mistaken the power supply just looks like a torodial transformer....

If you wanted to, you can connect the hobbyCNC drives or Xylotex drives to a G100. Any drives that accept step and direction should work, either stepper or servo. |
So how do you input to the G100 from your computer if not using a parallel port?
