Gerard,

I can't help you on the Vampires because I am not using Geckos (yet). But I have built two controllers using the CandCNC mini-IO boards and they work very nicely. I am running EMC2 and using Slosyn SS2000MD4 drivers at the moment. They max out at 40v and 4 amps.

If you call Tom at CandCNC, he might be able to tell you how many people are using 203Vs at the moment. I don't know for sure, but he has been very helpful to me.

Good luck.

Alan
