PERIOD. "
I will not argue, but a lot of these commercial systems, have some real
fancy drives. If you buy the "right" stuff, do good engineering, - then most
of what I have said - is a waste of time and effort.
But some of the "stuff" I brought up, might once in a while open up some new
tips & tricks. And sometimes you have to state "stupid" questions. In fact
refrasing a question, - is often the key to any new development.
I will rest the "stepper" case for now.

such trouble.
