    If I understand correct ,for someone who uses two stepper motors at Y axis,like me,you can not slave one of the motors and save an exit for future use for a 4th axis,right?
    Nick from what I understand those controllers will not do slave axis as you require. Although you can connect the step output to two drives I would certainly NOT recommend it. You need a controller that will handle dual homing if you intend to use twin motors as it will then square the gantry every time you home the machine.
