We are currently finalizing designs for our motor driver boxes for the
SSRL Structural Molecular Biology beamline 9. 

One possible cost/complexity saving is to eliminate manual control of motors
&amp; do everything through EPICS. Is this a practical solution? Does anyone have
any experience with driving motors through the knob box? Is it possible to
`tweek' motors realistically, or would a manual box interface (generating
pulses locally) be easier to use?
