    Recommend a parallel breakout board please.

    Can anyone please recommend a parallel breakout board for me?
    I am going to run Mach3. It will be driving 3 IMS-483 stepper drives and size 23 steppers. I am kind of leary of the $25 ones on ebay since it looks like none are opto isolated. It looks like you can spend a lot of $$ on a name brand one. I won't want to spend more than $100. I am open to just a schematic also if you have a nice protected unit.

    Thanks,

    Ferny.

    Specifically this one (for Geckos):

    I have had an older version in service for two years. No issues.

    I have purchased 3 from here for various projects. Really nice, professional boards, optoisolated, socketed IC's. His handle is hillbilly here on cnczone.

    That's a nice looking board. I don't think that I have seen those before.

    It's not what you take away, it's what you are left with that counts!
