Ok, now the details start coming out. From the information I could find
on the web and the discussions here, the common wisdom was that you just
make the right cable and everything just works. Ha.

Are there any drives that don't require such
a modification of the stepper
table? I'm not sure what drives I'm using. They're mounted in an
enclosure and I'm too lazy to dismount them to check.
IIRC, half-height 8-inch drives typically supported much faster step rates
than the full-height drives.
