Sorry, there is no web page about Boxdoerfer products. The manual I
received is in German only. So if you do understand some German, I could
send a hardcopy to you via snail mail. If you don't, I'd suggest you
contact Boxdoerfer directly and ask them for product information in
English.

Name: PowerFlex MTS-3
Power supply: 8-15 V =
Reverse polarity protection up to 40V
Fuse 1.6A
Control unit for unipolar and bipolar stepper drives (max. 0.6 A /
phase)
Backlash compensation in Dec.
PEC
Independently programmable corrector speeds (+/- 6% to +/- 100%)
Solar and Lunar tracking rates
Jack for ST-4

I have heard that there is a new improved model MTS-3LP.
Less power consumtion and an optional LCD are the most important
features.

Price MTS-3: DEM 540.- (US$ ~300.-)
Additional cost for LCD: DEM 240.- (US$ ~135.-)
ST-4-cable: DEM 35.- (US$ 20.-)
