This week i again browsed main different boards and compared what they do for the $$, basically nothing has changed much:

-if you want to stick with LPT - PMDX126 or couple it with ESS/ ethernet smooth stepper/ for even better Ethernet connection and smoothness

-CSMIO/IP-M given that its ethernet and is EU made so no customs


Other options are to sell the drives and buy all in one with DSP drives like Leadshine mx4660 or Mx3660

Or dive in Lunux and buy some Mesa cards
