I was able to use a jumper to the right part of the Baldor board to control the spindle speed, sorry to hear a similar approach didn't work for you.

Your topboard is slightly older than the one I had on mine, but you should be able to control the x/y/z axis and get access to the limit switches in the same way I did here:

Update, I figured it out. It requires a bit of circuit bending (remove surface mount resistor R29 to disconnect Pin3 of the optoisolator from the normal drive circuit, solder a 200-220 ohm resistor...
I have a Denford MicroMill 2000 that uses a Balfor NextMoveST motion control card. I have removed the top card and am successfully moving the axes using a parallel port break out board connecting...
I got one of these working with mach3 / Linux CNC:

I was able to get the axis on one of these working with just a parallel port break out board.

If the board is in working condition, you could just take the top board off and use the bottom (stepper driver) as-is by connecting to it via a parallel port breakout board.

Hello, I just purchased a ScanTech 2000 Mill & Lathe (Basically a Denford MicoMill / MicroLathe). They didn't come with any software, so I'll probably have to wire up an interface directly to the...
