    Question 5th driver for g540

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add a fifth driver to a G540.
    I have done a search but could get no information.
    Cheers
    Denis

    Just add another parallel port and plug the 5th drive into that.

    Thanks Gerry,
    I guess the only way to learn is to do, will give it a try.
    Will Mach3 recognise this setup? 5th axis will be rotary.
    Cheers
