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
