EMC with Stepperworld Parallel Card

Has anyone made EMC work with the Stepperworld Unipolar Parallel Driver
card? I bought their little kit (card, current limiting resistors and 3 60
oz motors) off of ebay a while back, just to mess with. They may find their
way onto my little Atlas horizontal mill one day, but I've got to get them
working first!

Anyhow, I was able to make them work with the software that StepperWorld
sent with them (VB stuff for windows) so I went ahead and installed the BDI
2.04 that I received from Ray several weeks ago.

Once I install it, I'm not really even sure which icon to click on to try
it. I've tried EMC Generic and get no response from the motors.

Keep in mind now, I've just had back surgery day before yesterday, so the
Vicodin could be kicking in, but I've got my machine set up on my breakfast
bar (can't sit in a chair) and have a couple of weeks to get this figured
out! I'd *REALLY * appreciate any help I can get here - I've a got a
Stepperworld document that gives pinouts/signal out diagrams if that's of
any help to anyone.

I'm feeling like I'm on the right track but I think I've got to go change
some INI files somewhere, somehow - I'll go back and read some some old
emails on that, but any help thrown my way would be much appreciated.

A depressing day it's been - gettting my motors to wiggle under EMC control
would be a bright spot to me.

God bless America and all of Her citizens...
