does the same exist for stepper they seem to be for servo and at a 1000$ a piece there a bit high on the price range for a hobby mill

Here's a drive for one axis which does not blow the budget...

heh

for emc2 - if your patient - the emc developers are writing stepper firmware for the 5I20 FPGA based PCI Anything I/O card (72i/o). $200 for the card - if you want isolation - there is a daughter board (7i37) for $69 <- you may need up to 3 of these depending on what your doing. Right now it only supports closed loop servos.

Take a look around here

there is also this - It is pretty new and I don't know if you can just buy the fpga.

Your still going to need the actual stepper drives (like gecko or similar) but this would do hardware step generation

The xylotex 4 axis is the best deal around. But that is not a plugin into the comp.
