No laughing here, only time I laugh is when people dont ask questions
Heres how things work
Your parallel port cable comes from the computer, it connects to a breakout board (can just solder direct to cable but breakout is better) Then the drives connect via Step and Direction pins to the breakout. The motors connect to the drives and also a power supply connects to the drives. Limit switches and other I/O you may have connect to the breakout board.
For the Geckos a power supply of between 24 and 80V DC is needed, they are easy enough to make, I will post a link in a few mins to a pdf that tells you how. The more voltage you supply (80v max) the faster you will manage to get your motors turning
