Greetings;

I've been to the wiki, and searched for e-stop, but there isn't very much 
there except the MAZAK setup as text.  I read schematics better.

Does anyone have a suitable schematic link I could adapt for use with this 
xylotex 4 axis and Steves (PMDX) spindle controller?

I still have parport pins 1, 11, 12, & 13 available on the breakout, although, 
and correct me if I'm wrong, I assume the pin 1 output which is listed in my 
current my-mill.hal as an e-stop output, which presumably is brought true-low 
by the enabling press of the f1 key, intended to re-cock the external chain 
so that an e-stop condition is cleared, and it probably goes away when the 
key is released.  

Correct?

The 11,12,13 pins I could probably rig for homing switches if I could figure 
out how to mount and actuate them reliably on this POJ micromill.

Or do I need them for a possible e-stop input?  It does seem to me we need to 
tell emc the machine has a tummy ache.
