This one, right? http://www.maxnc.com/maxnc_10_cl-b.htm
Manual: http://engineering.purdue.edu/AAE/Academics/Courses/Raisbeck/images/resources/cnc/MAXNCmanual.pdf
Parallel Port Pinout (?): (from http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1319.0;attach=891)
1............... M3 OUTPUT (LOW=ON, PULSE FOR PWM) 2…………………………................. A AXIS (quadrature) 3……………………………............. A AXIS (quadrature) 4.……………………………............ Y AXIS (quadrature) 5.……………………………............ Y AXIS (quadrature) 6.…………………………….............X AXIS (quadrature) 7……………………………............. X AXIS (quadrature) 8..……………………………........... Z AXIS (quadrature) 9...…………………………….......... Z AXIS (quadrature) Pin 10. INPUT, MOVE ENABLE (LOW=NORMAL OPERATION, HIGH=STOP) Pin 16. OUTPUTS, DISABLE POWER TO MOTORS (LOW = NORMAL, HIGH = DISABLE) Pin 17. OUTPUT, RESET CONTROLLER (LOW=RESET, HIGH=NORMAL)
Another pinout, "setptype = user1" (confusingly not labled MAXNC10)

This guy rebuilt his, has derogatory things to say: http://hans-w.com/cnc.htm
This other guy has some interesting upgrades. Especially notable is the new motor mount, and appropriate dxf http://www.timeguy.com/cradek/cnc/motor-mount
User:seph was hacking on one. Some notes from him are at http://www.directionless.org/tmp/maxnc/
There's a pinout, and an emc2 config. He also recommends thinking about eventually upgrading a lot of the components.
OK, got a definitive pinout, seem to conform to those above. Jtfoote 23:11, 28 September 2009 (PDT)
Pin 1: 7400 pin 1, input Pin 2,3: A quad input Pin 4,5: Y quad input Pin 6,7: X quad input Pin 8,9: Z quad input
Pin 10: 7420 quad nand output (enabled ack?) Pin 11: NC Pin 12: X,Y,Z limit (or'ed) Pin 13: spare limit (unused) Pin 14: 7400 input tool power pwm in? Pin 15: NC? Pin 16: input to 4x PICs: enable? Pin 17: NC? Pin 18: GND Pin 19-25 - NC

GCODE
The EMC2/AXIS software takes gcode as motion control input files. More info here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/
Many tools exist for generating/converting to gcode. Here's a good list: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Cam
In particular, here's how you generate gcode from
Cadsoft [ http://www.cadsoft.de/ EagleCAD ] http://www.pcbgcode.org/
Inkscape : http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?InkscapeHowto
