LinuxCNC supports a wide range of hardware, including a number of obsolete ISA cards etc. 
In order to prioritise maintenance of the drivers (and possibly to retire some drivers) it would be useful to know what hardware is out there "in the wild"

Please fill out the survey below selecting any hardware that you use yourself, or have recently seen in use.

(Edit) The poll only appears to allow a single selection, but I have enabled multiple votes per user, so it may be possible to add data for several hardware devices.

Do you have a driver in the LinuxCNC distribution? (Do you want one?)

Egerobotics components are based on EtherCAT. Is it possible to add such components to the LinuxCNC distribution? I know there are some licensing issues with EtherCAT. Or not?

Licencing Conditions pervents us from hosting ethercat stuff. The correct course of action ewould be to create pull requests against this rep,
github.com/linuxcnc-ethercat
the Ethercat master is configured as a dependency
The driver and devices here are synced to the iGh ethercat apt repository so that ethercat users can receive updated linuxcnc specific ethercat drivers with a simple apt upgrade

We have ESI files and many examples,
But, of course a driver is better than ever
