What are the minimum pulse or step timings for the Syil Supper Diver?

Once I can get all the information together and can get my Syil X3S working on LinuxCNC I'll put together a post on the required settings for anyone else that wants to change over from Mach3. Unfortunately my Mach3 PC died so I don't have the original settings to help with setup.
Minimum andaximum timings? On a squarewave? I bet the steepper motor misses steps before you hit that limit.

If you don't backup for a year, you are prepared to lose a years work.

Mach3 manual is quite concise and clear. Parallel port, pin numbers, and all.
