Aaron I use the MSD542 drivers with EMC2 with no problems, (but I don't have access to my ini file at the moment). The data sheet from www.motioncontrolproducts.com is a bit terse. I used the data sheet from http://www.kelinginc.net/KL-5042.pdf, as I think these are identical drives. Missing steps could be due to velocity / acceleration settings (you need to test these in the stepper config wizard when you can), also check the coupling between your motors and leadscrews.
