Oh, I don't know.... Actually, I would recommend decoupling the vector
controlled anhydrous crankelshaft by deshimming the phase tensor decraminator
before you tried anything as risky as that.



Disclaimer: I could not help applying this fine statement to Mariss'
explanation of the many stepper connection options above. BOTH statements
take me a really long time to figure out !

This is actually someone elses "line", I just copied it a long time ago. I
must say that whoever penned this has reflected pure brilliance. I use it to
sound "smart" in all kinds of personal E-Mails.

Anyone know who it was who said this? It was probably from someone in the old
Usenet CNC group....................
