I'm thinking about buying a dead VMC and converting it to EMC using Mesa boards and existing analog AMP's and encoders and had some questions: 1. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to selecting either the 5i20 or 7i43 boards? The 5i20's PCI interface is probably more robust but people seem to be successful with the 7i43. Is there any difference in function? 2. Is the 7i33 quadrature board compatible with the 7i43? It doesn't mention it in the Mesa documentation. 3. If you need more I/O than a single Mesa board can handle can EMC support multiple 5i20's or 7i43's (assuming enough parallel ports) or a mix of the two?
