I have got a parallel port driven controller and was thinking of getting the USB version you refered to.

software, so you determine what slow medium and fast is.

there would be a limit in terms of recovery time from the preceeding pulse saying "step" to the motor, but you can get your software to pulse once a second, 1000 times a second. it is up to how you write the software.

with the usb one, you get that little program as shown. if you can program in visual basic , visual c# etc, then you can add a little active x component to your code to interface quite easily to it.

If you have no idea what i just said, i would be more than happy to write some code for you cos of all your kind and generous gestures!

what do you have in mind for the stepper motors?
