Thanks for your thoughts. What I have done is walk through the Stepconf wizard and assign the First Parport Base Address to 0x3410, then the XYZ step/direction pins, then go through the "Test this axis" step with firstly the CNC connected, and then with an oscilloscope on the pins. Neither the CNC moves, nor do I get any reading on the scope. Although being a new user I could very well be making a mistake with this setup process...
