Soooo.....  What are some of those rather disturbing bugs in TKEMC?  If
I know about them maybe I won't be so alarmed when they bite me!

I sure wish there were individual maximum speeds for each axis in EMC
like with AHHA.  On my machine I have about 1000 steps per inch on x and
y and about 3760 steps per inch on z.  It's a shame to have to slow x
and y down that much...  Especially since z rarely travels very far at a
time.  Oh Well.

Thanks,
