Both are probably correct. The motion drivers are fixed in what they can
do with a parport. Six step and direction motors, one home, one each +-
limit.

The aux IO stuff allows for pin number and polarity configuration through
the ini file when you use the bridgeport task and bridgeport or tkio task
controllers.

Not this week, Rick. Your plan was proposed to the developers a while
back and is in process of implementation.
