Unfortunately, many BDI CD's of EMC do not support the Univ. Stepper Controller.
The best way to set it up right now is to use the BDI-Live! rc46 CD or one of the net mirrors with the ISO image of that CD to install Linux and EMC on your computer, then update it with this file : http://jelinux.pico-systems.com/codes/update.tgz Further instructions for applying this update are at http://jelinux.pico-systems.com/update.html I can also provide a complete computer with the proper drivers added to EMC and completely configured for the controller. Linux gurus can download the original source of EMC (not EMC2) from the SourceForge repository and recompile it. This is not for the faint of heart! Otherwise, I can add the files to your hard drive if you send it to me.
