Re: help with g201 needed

I had the same problem at one point. I increased the MB IO voltage
from 3.3v to 3.5 volts and that pesky Z axis ran smoother and ran in
both directions. If you have this option in your bios it may help
get that little extra current I think you need to sync the optos.

Regards
Joe
