The mach 3 file is gone. I tried microstep 2, 1, .5, .1, .01 best with 1
It is a microproto control box that comes with a TAIG 3000 machine.
I thought I could use it but seems that may not be the case. Next step is to get control boards and drivers. I paid $1200 for everything. (has 4th axis) so if I put a few hundred more into it its not the end of the world.

That seems really quite low.MAX_VELOCITY = 0.824652777778

I am a little concerned about your steplen and stepspace, as all are set to 1. That's normal if you are using the parport driver "reset" function to get one step per thread cycle, rather than one per two thread cycles.
I think with your current base thread period it is going to work OK, but I would set both to 5000 to be sure.
You could try inverting the step pulses. That helped with my first machine.
But I think that the "enable" wiring might be the problem. Many step drivers have a "disable" input. In most cases this is best left unconnected (and you can save some precious parport pins too)
