If starting fresh using the Stepconfig wizard in 2.9, don't use the "A axis" settings to configure your secondary Y axis joint. Start by configuring your machine as a XYZ machine, then choose "Tandem Y Step" and "Tandem Y Direction" for the step/dir output pins for the secondary axis on your parallel port. Similarly you must configure a separate home switch for both Y motors using two input pins connected to "Home Y" and "Home Tandem Y" (or one of the available combined home limit options available with those pin input options.)

If you already had a functioning configuration with version 2.8, you should be able to import the configuration files from that and have them work with 2.9 without needing to make any significant changes. (Maybe I think.)
