    Default Cable driven Bot question

    I just (yesterday) picked up a 1997 cable driven machine and everything is there and in good shape, but the wires to the X controller are disconnected (at the controller board). Does anyone know what order they are supposed to be? The Y and Z are wired, but they are different from one another and I dont want to guess and ruin anything.

    Here are a few. I have just started setting it up.
    I found a reference that said the X is to be wired the same as the Z so I have done that and am getting ready to fire up the computer and see if I can make it move.
