Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC Parallel port config, please help

Hi Lance,

To change pins around, get a RS-232 type patch box, or wire up a short
M-F DB25 cable. About all you can do for EMC, I think. I have the same
problem, I wired my drivers for the MaxNC pinout, which has step/dir
pins the reverse of EMC's.
