I think where this anomily comes from is the fact that the official
DeskCNC site at http://www.deskcnc.com
Still states on their web site the following quote:-

Requires same Screw Pitch on X and Y Axis for Circular Interpolation
Requires 9 pin Serial Cable.
Requires 8-20 Vdc external power supply and enclosure.

Anyone reading this from the horses mouth is bound to be confused.
