UC300ETH + UB1 + UCCNC license = $380 US.

Closer feature wise to the IP-S than the IP-M.
And the macros always work.

That looks ok, I'm a bit confused about the LPT part - if its ethernet, how can it be LPT??

The LPT is just the way the pins are configured. They match a parallel port pinout, so that just about any breakout board will plug right into it.

Its a 5LPT board with ethernet connection? So you would use 5 BOB's too get full functionality??

Just guessing, couldn't see a UB1 win the site ;)


Edit,
typing at same time ;)

Makes sense now, I still prefer the CSMIO if not just for its "completeness" and rugged build.

"Full Functionality" would depend on the users needs. And there are 1 port, 2 port, and 3 port breakout boards. The UB1 uses 3 of the ports.

You don't need the 5LPT board with the UB1, so you save a few bucks there.

But it relies on flawed software, which is the main issue.

Yes its one drawback and i have worked around it, I guess i could ask CSLABS if they have done anything on it as the linked stuff was a while back, doubtful though which is a pity IMHO.

About as likely as retrofitting the dual-motor support from the IP-S into the IP-M, more's the pity.
