There is a table that one stores the step rate

of the controller. It should work with any controller,
you just need to find the table and change it.
It has been a while since I've fiddle with it
to make my drives step with less noise ( and wear ).
OIC.
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.
