Yep -- $75 per axis, and with a $4.99 cable (part # DB25IDC6) you can connect up to 4 of them to one parallel port with no breakout board needed, just plug and play.

We also have a breakout board (part # SCDB25B) that has screw terminals for all the pins plus direct cable connections for the SC125MS controller.

I checked out the Salem website... I like the products but when you go to ordering.. the products are sold exclusively through XYZ controls who straps on an extra $100. Granted I havn't emailed Salem directly but that was a deciding factor for me. If I can get one for the price on the salem site then sold! As long as the shipping to Bangkok,Thailand doesn't kill me either.. ;-)
