The drive uses the following signals:

DB25 IDC26 Usage
------------ --------- -------
Pin 2 3 Step X
Pin 3 5 Dir X
Pin 4 7 Step Y
Pin 5 9 Dir Y
Pin 6 11 Step Z
Pin 7 13 Dir Z

It's simple, the PARALLEL port connections should be pins 6 and 7 and
those go to the Xylotex board connections 11 and 13.

In Turbo CNC you assign pin 7 as dir and pin 6 as step.

Are you using the newer version 3.24 ?
