Parport base address set to 0x2000 is the solution. Now the motor is working! Thank you very much!

I have a something similar setup and you should be able to do it with the one configuration. Since linuxcnc supports multiple spindles I just made another spindle instance and then used a mux2 component to switch between outputting the axis velocity and spindle velocity to the mesa stepgen.  I think I just used the spindle.1.on signal to switch the mux2 component.  That way when I issue m3 s100 $1 it will run the second spindle at 100 rpm.  There could be some issues keeping position if you switch back and forth between the modes depending on how things are setup.
