hi

I have used some a few month ago, before I buy a complete (big) stepper kit 
from china.

Worked well with some stepper from old floppy disk drives. Unfortunately these 
steppers where too small for my machine.

As it is mentionned in the website, the main problem seems to keep the 
transistors as cold as possible. I got a BIG radiator from and old GSM relay, 
I never experienced problems with that.

I controlled the drives directly with the // port, it use common step/dir 
signals.

And with some additional outputs pin and a bit of thinking, may be possible to 
switch microstepping mode directly from the pc, for example using some classic 
ladder programing, as linistepper drivers use two line for selecting the mode.

I didn't tried this.

I plan to switch back to the linistepper drivers for use with my big chinese 
motors, as I will need microstepping, and the chinese drivers dont offer it.
