Here is the manual-

I am new to this and have gotten the impression that if it works for Mach3 it will also work for Linuxcnc.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanx, Alan

The link you gave does not work, but I think I managed to find it.

The stepper control via the Parallel port should work, but you will not get any of the USB-based IO with a LinuxCNC system.

I wasn't planning on using USB for control and in fact thought the connection was for power only.

The link has been fixed.

OK, now something else is confusing me.
Page 10 of the manual shows a driver board between the controller and the motor.
I thought a controller was also a driver.

I think that the device in question is just an opto-isolation board, not a stepper driver.

In that case, I probably should stick with my original plan.

Probably, it contains motors and drivers, and looks a lot more conventional.
