Hi,

 >EMC2's parallel port driver will drive up to eight parallel ports.

Cool. Lots of I/O. Is there a preferred layout for multiple cards?
  Should all my step and direction be on one and misc I/O on the others, 
or one axis with associated limits and whatnot on each card? Does it matter?

  Have not tried this yet, I did the test on my non-emc Ubuntu desktop, 
so I was just fooling about. Interesting is that Win XP crashed on these 
cards and Ubuntu worked fine.
