to polyester.
The difference in expansion works

Re: Linux vs. DOS
Actually, the DanCAD pinout has provisions for limit switches (All axis's +
& - are ganged together to one input) and for home switches on all 3 axis's
along with 3 (if I remember correctly) relays.

using out there?
I remember a Circuit Cellar column in the early days of Byte wherein Steve

This is much less of an issue with steppers than with servos. Usually, when
something goes wrong with steppers they don't move. When something goes

Tim, make an adapter with a male and female DB-25 plug. Sort of a pass

Remember that if your machine has other than 64MB of RAM you'll need to
change the 0x3F00000 to match your system:
0x0F00000 for 16MB systems
0x1F00000 for 32MB systems
0x2F00000 for 48MB
