I can provide schematics of the controller card, together with modification instructions for the Shu- gart drive. (If your drive isn't an SA400L, then it'll probably be a bit different, but the modification is all in the area of the stepper control and so could be worked out.) Send me your USnail address, and I'll put together a package for you.
