My company currently manufacture srobotic arms for educational use and
learning.  Our current high-end arm uses 3 custom designed
PC-ISA boards to provide an 8-axis control capability.  We are
currently researching the idea of switch to an external
supplier for an 8-axis controller.  We would like to get 
feedback and information on companys that produce 8-axis controllers,
contact information, pricing, etc.

Our requirements are:
8-Axis controller of Servo Motors
Encoder positioning feedback
8 Digital IO Lines
4 Relay Control lines (optional)
PC-ISA Board is perferred

Thanks for any and all information.
