Really nice work!

Reading all of the above posts I feel comfortable with my intent on using the "Z" axis CL86T stepper servo wired as the Acorn schematic using the DB25 BoB as drawn. Then, wiring the 2 - CL57T stepper servos for my x & y drives as the schematic is drawn using the H2 header on the Acorn...
