Can anyone tell me the difference if any between control board V3.40 and V3.54. Both use 3.4.27 control software.

Thanks

Any thoughts on using this as a driver board with the newer versions of Shopbot control software...for a older PR with PRT motors.

So maybe it's my imagination but the machine runs much smoother with the 3.54 board. For a vintage PR machine, to run at 6IPS Jog(max with 3.4.27) And cut .75 ply with 2 pass, ok laugh, at 4.5 ips...plus a 35% increase in 3D carve speeds...

Well one day I will have fun with a Alpha machine...

Thx

I am looking at using the V201 card with the driver board linked above...approx cost for this possible upgrade $600USD.

Opinions/advice please.

Thx
