    Default GRex replacement?

    Hi. It's been a while since I've been able to play with anything CNC (grad school kind of sucked that way). In the mean time, it looks like the GRex has come out of production. Is there a replacement in the works for it? I'd wanted to use a GRex and Mach 3 for my drive system, so is there an different elegant solution like that anymore? Or am I going to have to have parellel breakout and IO boards?

    Peace!

    The Smoothstepper connects to your PC via USB, but still uses parallel breakout boards connected to it. www.warp9td.com

    The G100 was never fully integrated with Mach3, and very few are still using it. The Smoothstepper plugin for Mach3 is still not 100% complete, but there are a lot of people using it.

    There are several non parallel port Mach3 options available. Galil, DSPMC, KFlop...
