I have an old Sherline CNC mill with a stepper motor controller box made by "Backtrack Manufacturing". I don't have the software that came with the controller to run Gcode. The controller box has 4 inputs from the parallel port that drive 4 fets to the stepper motor coils for each axis. The control box will drive 3-axis.

Can EMC be configured to run the control box?

I have the Ubuntu 6.06 with EMC 2.2.2.1 iso burned to a CD and I'm using that to give EMC a whirl.

Update:

Appears that this can be done in EMC.

Now I have to figure out how to implement it.

Figured it out. Hope it helps someone else.
