Run a stepper from 2 DM542 drive

Woa. The forum system didn't send any emails regarding a new post on my thread. Thank you everybody for your opinions. Regarding the accuracy, a step or two will not harm (this is a fiber laser not milling machine) the focus is forgiving, but a disabled driver will cause the Z axis to fall, not good.
What is the best solution for this situation? Anything already made it out there?

Thank you
Gabi
