I am using a G540 on a CNC router and it has dual drive Y axis motors so the 4 drivers are already used up.
I want to add a 4th axis and was wondering how I would go about this and integrate it all.
Any help would be much appreciated

Add a second PCI parallel port, and get a cheap BOB and another drive. Either a G251, or one of Gecko's 2xx drives.
