Hi,
I don't know where you are located, but if your flag is genuine then you are still a member of EU, so if you go for UCCNC and CNC Drive products then you should buy it directly from Hungary, not through USA. I am pretty sure it is cheaper that way. In any case, as Jazz said, avoid USB if you can, but if you absolutely want to get an UC100 make sure it is a genuine one. There are several eBay sellers selling fake copies and those don't work properly and unless you have a genuine one, you won't get support from CNC Drive, which is fully understandable. Otherwise their support is excellent. They have an active forum where you can quickly get help from their own people or their users if you have any problems.
I have been using their products for quite some time now and very happy with them. Have used UC3005LPT USB for about two years but when they released the UC3005LPT ETH I switched to UCCNC and never used the USB again. Today, or if I need to change the controller, I'd buy the AXBB. It is an even higher quality controller and there is no need for BOB if you use that, so the whole box would be more compact and with less wiring.

The Flag is correct and I think we will still be heavily linked with the EU regarding trade deals etc for the foreseeable future.
Today, or if I need to change the controller, I'd buy the AXBB. It is an even higher quality controller and there is no need for BOB if you use that, so the whole box would be more compact and with less wiring.
Not sure about the AXBB but it would probably be all I need in a tidy box, I need to read up and learn a bit more about what I really need. Asking questions and receiving replies helps.
I could not see Hungary in the list of Distributors for "CNCdrive" motion controls or Software (I pasted the above link but it did not work for me either).
Most of the time you only seem to save a few £££ buying CLONE STUFF so my opinion is I just look for recognised distributers it's not worth the possible problems with buying knock off.
I'll look more at the AXBB. but for some reason I like the idea of the UC300ETH with a UB1 (lots of inputs and outputs).
I still have a lot to learn before I make any final decisions.
