So you have the source for the quadrature encoder, and a DAC cannot be thar complex can it? why not email Comedi and ask them for card programming info.

Having said that I do sympathise, its difficult to work out the trade off between
putting up with systems you find unplesant and hoping you don't use them much,
or puttin the effort to redesign them.

Still you could use 9vx to run plan9 on top of this system, that way you could maybe
migrate the system gradually.

Russ has a version of libthread for windows on his web page.
