I have a techno servo gantry system. It uses the old ISA card and runs in dos.
1st question:
Should I upgrade to PCI and run in windows or stay in dos??
2nd question:
Techno wants $1800 for the upgrade. Is there a company that makes a useable cheaper card and/or upgrade that will work with the techno.
3rd question:
I have a indexer head and extra servo motor. I need a amplifier for my fourth axis. Does anyone except techno make a amp that will fit my box?

Thanks, that's enough questions now... any help will be appreciated

Ever make a decision on this one? I was/am in the exact same situation. The DOS works, bit it kinda sucks. I guess it is OK for free, though. If I was going to spend even over $1k, I'd probably just go with a completely different controller & mach3. I don't use my machine enough to make it a big deal, actually I might sell it on ebay if I don't pick the hobby back up soon.

Which model do you have and how much would you be asking...???

I don't have the specs at hand, I will post them later-
For the meantime, I did find a post that has a nice picture of the table:

I would likely sell it on ebay with a reserve of $2k. If someone showed up on my doorstep with 2500 I would sell it. That's not bad considering you get a complete up and running rig for not much more than Techno wants for a PCI card!

A buddy of mine needs a new sign for his boat- I better make it before I sell this thing. Let me know if you want more pics- do a search on my old posts and you might be able to find more.

Thanks, Mike
