Uhm... under linux, no matter what version, you can use the parallel 
port and high resolution timers, but... 10 us? What is the speed of your 
motor(s)?
Anyway, I see it difficult to do it in gambas, mainly because of tight 
GUI integration and impossibility to use interrupts; the best way would 
be to separate hi-level logic from lo-level timing, perhaps through a 
library written in C.
