I added:
HOME_SEARCH_VELOCITY = 0
HOME_SEQUENCE = -2 # x
HOME_SEARCH_VELOCITY = 0
HOME_SEQUENCE = 1 # y
HOME_SEARCH_VELOCITY = 0
HOME_SEQUENCE = 0 # z
HOME_SEARCH_VELOCITY = 0
HOME_SEQUENCE = -2 # x
to each axis in the ini file. It gave a long error message

I'm getting a pop-up message about the -2 and the need to home before jogging

And home_search_velocity can not be 0, it will not move the machine at all.
Try 0.5 for inch /or 10 for metric.
Probably that would also need:
home_latch_velocity <<<< at 0.2 /or 5
and
home_final_velocity <<<< at 0.1 /or 1

Set velocity to 10mm
The popup says joint 0 is synchronized because of the -2 and requires homing.
Should joint 0 be -2 when joint 3 is also -2 ?

With a two-stepper gantry system the two steppers are mechanically synchronized at start up so it is a bit odd that they have to be told they are homed. No big deal, I guess.
My next bold step is to haul the computer down the mountain to my barn studio and hook it to the actual machine. I hope the parallel port pin assignments were translated correctly from the Mach configuration. I'll manually check that. I'm pretty sure the Z axis scale will be wrong...
Wish me luck and thanks for your help so far. As the man said, "I'll be back"

I think you might need an M2 at the end

I have been using M0 for years when I should have been using M02 or M30
