Mariss: As I have so far only used two G210's (with immediate, happy
success!), The only thing I would suggest is you come up with some "plug-on
wiring-harness connectors" which will COME OFF (and GO ON) without DESTROYING
the PCB! (As is, they are very difficult to pull-off, for installation of
the hardware!)

One other thing which I have on one OLDER stepper-machine I have is the
ability for the computer to "tell" the drive whether to HALF-STEP or
FULL-STEP (i.e., DOUBLE the step-count per turn). Now, to do this, it is
necessary to have access to the jumpers in the G210 (I understand the G201
is 2000 steps/turn ONLY. ?) It'd be nice if there was a pin which could
select N steps/turn or N*2 steps per turn, if LO or HI.
