Wanted - Recommendation for a decent breakout board

Hey folks, newest machine I bought has been a monumental let down and ripped of from china in the tune of about 6k.



But I have a few cnc machines so not really a biggie as far as lost work.



I am after a decent breakout board for 4 axis machine suitable for mach 3.



Recommendations, do not mind buying locally or overseas, but would like to get things happening quickly



Anyone using a usb breakout board or are the best still parallel ports



Thanks Steve
