Gee, I didn't know you had hardware. I thought you were just checking out
the GUI. This is great!

Well, there are of course two approaches to this. One of them involves a
soldering iron... I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination,
and I don't think this is in the .ini file. Give me a little while to dig
through the EMC source directories here and I'll get back to you. I just
cooked some burgers on the grill, and I'm going to eat a few and think
about this. It's probably in some file called parport.h or stepper.c, or
something like that. I can imagine it involves some changes that we can do
without involving the software folks such as just changing a few numbers.

Amazin', ain't it.
