Brian, I have sent e-mail with pin assignments...The motors I use are only 3" x 4" and run a 5 x 10 table. This circuit board is attached to the end of a parallel port cable. The other end of the cable is separated into the 3 cables for the motors...

Yes, I have 2 mills with parallel port pin#s from the port and through a powerup chip then out to the motors.  I built a new circuit board for one of the mills last year and it just uses a pass through chip running off of a 12v P/s.  The programs came from a man in Pa. a few years ago and when I called him for information he had died and his wife had thrown out all of his paperwork....  I can't seem to get the parallel port to run or show any response to anything in the config...no how much I play with the pin #'s...  I could e-mail a copy of the pin #'s if it would help..  each motor has 4 control wires and I think are unipolar....He had sent me some paperwork about the motors previous to this demise...
