    Try to Wire Limit switches and travel limit switches to a TB6560 Driver Board.
    It has a Little White Plug on the driver board,With Inputs to P10,P11,P11,P13.

    eBay item 190396983708 is selling one of these boards and includes a diagram in the listing. Pin 5 of the connector seems to be the common ground, and pins one to four pass through to 10,11,12,13 of the parallel port.

    Conventially you'd wire a switch that's normally closed between one of the pins and ground, so that the setting is "active high". Operating the switch breaks the connection and the voltage on the pin goes up to 5V. This is safer than a normally open switch, because if the wiring is broken then the software treats it as an emergency.

    You can wire more than one switch in series so that operating either will break the connection.

    Hope this helps.
