So far, I've only described possible configurations in very general terms. 
Without information about your specific requirements, it is difficut to go in 
to much detail..

In the early stages of emc2 development, I voiced concerns over the cryptic 
syntax and the desire to spread configuration over multiple files.. But the 
developers chose to pander to the whims of one or two potential users rather 
than cater for the majority.

The drivers for Jon's cards are included - The finer points of configuration 
would depend on which card(s) you have.. I don't have any of his hardware, so 
you'd need to email Jon directly for support, all I can offer is general 
guidance, and perhaps bug fixes to the drivers if required.
