OK, I have everything set up to do what I want, now I need to connect to my 
machine.

How do I change the parallel port pin-out for XZA instead of XYZ? The .ini 
file is set up for 4 axis so the A will work properly. I know I'll probably 
need to add a parallel port.

And I noticed something odd. The A axis move very slowly when a G00 is 
commanded, but will move very quickly if the G00 is combined with either 
the X or Z axis.

In terms of stepper drives, am I better to use the existing Compumotor Zeta 
drives or change to something like the Gecko? I need the stepper to receive 
5,000 steps/rev and 5 rev/inch so 25,000 steps/inch. My target is 10 inches 
per second so I need 250,000 steps/sec.

Thanks.
