What you need is a very flexible controller card. But most
available cards are somehow user-friendly with little
flexibility. One of fewer exemptions is the card from
Motion Research Institute. It does not have host processor.
PC can access any axis at any time. But you maybe need to
do more work on your PC host. Independence will not be a
problem. But I am not sure about multi-interruption because
controller chip probably doesn't have input buffer. This is
a new product I don't know much about.
BTW, Oregon board is one of the best boards with a very
good command set. I don't know why it is not suitable for
your application?

Good luck.
