    Which OEM application sheet are you looking at for L287-8???

    There are several pins that can provide step and direction from LPT port. Which one to use depends on software coding.

    See "Real-World Interfacing with your PC" ISBN 0-7906-1145-7 for more information. Driving by parallel port is not a "universal, one thing does all" sort of deal.

    The above book should be available from www.hwsams.com
