EMC/Gecko/Parallel Port interface

Hello List,

I'm getting close to connecting my EMC machine to my current mill,
and ran into some problems connecting my Gecko 201s to the parallel
port. Geckos require step/dir/+5VDC signal inputs, but the parallel
port doesn't have +5VDC output, right? How are others making the
connection to Geckos, specifcally supplying the +5VDC input? I will
be getting a separate parallel port card to protect my motherboard.
Will the BDI EMC install recognize a second parallel port card? What
steps are required to "see" the additional port? Does the BDI
install have a preference between PCI or ISA parallel port cards? I
am trying to run the 5 axis EMC that Ian Wright supplied, so the
total of 5 Geckos require a minumum of 80mA sink capability on the
card(s).
Any help or thoughts will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Allan
