    What type of drivers? A lot of times you don't need anything but a printer cable. The Xylotex board plugs right in with the included cable. Some drives require a power supply, too.

    I'll probably be using 201's. Before posting my question, I was under the impression that there was a piece of hardware that went between the pc and the driver, but after doing some research, it seems that in most cases, you just wire from the pc port to the driver. Am I on the right track here?
