My exact application.  Cutting wood with a router that could probably
move 300 ipm if I cranked it up.  Current settings are max 180 ipm and
2ips/s/s accel.  I would like to use your products but they are really
getting into overkill fully loaded cost/complexity to set up for this
thing.  Right now it is all running with a $20 BOB and an old HP
desktop with a PCI parallel port card that is older than the PC.
