I have to admit, the CSMIO/IP-S looks really tempting after viewing docs and some youtube videos.
But like you said, it`s not cheap. However being able to control it from Mach software is the positive part for me not to familiar with heavy programming.
Manuals and docs have been stored locally on my computer for some late night reading.
You can do cheaper and have Mach3. The breakout board on my lathe is only like £30. This gives step / direction for a number of axis and a single relay output. It's basic but works.
