Thanks for your reply. Ive tried to follow my parallel port wires, and there is 2 wires go to each micro stepping card for x and y axis and 2 for z axis which is a bipolar step driver card. 2 pin on parallel port goes to number 2 on x axis card, 3 pin to num 3 on x axis, but 4 pin goes to num 2 and 5pin to num 3 on y axis, Z axis isnt numbered at all. This doesnt work at all. Dont Know if im doing this right or not, ( doesnt look like i am) Can you elaborate a little from your email you sent me. Thanks Hood, regards Andy
