Paul,
 It looks like Jon from Pico contacted you. He works alot with EMC and
has a nice setup. Go to http://www.usdigital.com/products/e5/  look over
these to see if this may fit the bill, 500 count differental encoder.
This will replace the resolver. Another direct hookup is
www.camsoft.com, a little more pricey. I know you do not like Windows,
but the other option is www.artofcnc.ca  . You might check with the guys
on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO/ to see if there is
anyone close to you, this is the EMC group.

www.camsoft.com There appears to be something wrong with this one.
Perhaps it is misspelled.

www.artofcnc.ca this one seems to be stepper only. It is not just
because I am not fond of Windows it is because Windows is not
a real time operating system while Linux RT is. You don't want Windows
stopping in the middle of circular interpolation and going off and
doing something else. Makes nasty marks in the part.

I'm guessing he meant:
