    Boss 5 wiring new brain to stock drivers?

    I just got my hands on a boss 5 Vram .. I had three of them yours ago and missed the little buggers. so here is my question, years ago I did 2 with full AH-HA drives & software,,, and one I just did with ah-ha software and a card that pluged into the machine. it was made by jackson holland and a partner of his ,,, I`m shure there long out of biss by now but I would like to keep the drivers power supplys etc like I did on that one ,,, is there a write up on how to wire it any place?

    I can't keep track of the different driver boards on these systems, but an implementation for some of the bridgeport boards has been done with EMC. There is some information in the user's manual. Links should be at www.linuxcnc.org, but they appear to have taken down the EMC1 manual and I don't think bridgeportio is supported in EMC2 yet.
