The interface between emc and arduino described on my web page -- http://axis.unpy.net/01198594294 -- is not suitable for "real-time I/O", which is required for motors. It is suitable for I/O where delays are tolerable. Some uses I envision would include controlling the spindle or starting, stopping, and pausing gcode programs while they run.
Yes, you can mix and match I/O devices--parport for motor control plus arduino for the odds and ends should work nicely. Just add the directive to load the arduino interface component to your custom hal file and then create the connections you want with net commands.
