If you keep the 4-axis setup, it sounds like you want to get a DPST switch.
Use one pole for the 3-axis board and the other pole for the single-axis
board. Same handle, separate circuits.

Sorry to hear about your smoking your L298. I did mine by accidentally
letting the unused center taps on my 6-wire stepper motor touch. Now
they're well shrink-wrapped!

I bought the replacement (and a spare) from Mouser (http://www.mouser.com)
their part 511-L298, price $3.20 each, in stock now.

Best regards,

Randy
