Peter,
I changed the parallel port mode to EPP, no difference. How does one tell
what the interface version is?
Most BIOS's only give an EPP/ECP/SPP etc. selection. The only ones that
had both versions were from a certain range of manufacturing dates
around 1999-2000

Peter,
I changed the parallel port mode to EPP, no difference. How does one tell
what the interface version is? It is not listed in the BIOS. The BIT files I
am using are dated 11/11/08.

Parallel _Downloading_ firmware to the 7I43 requires:
1. Parallel port with _EPP_ interface,
Sebastian,
Install the parport drivers how? I thought they were disabled in the rtai
kernel so they would not conflict with EMC.
The cable is a factory made cable and rings out.

The error you're getting is indicative of a low-level parallel port
communication error. You should

They are disabled, but you can force it. Try this:
1. Stop realtime
2. sudo insmod

Sebastian,
The Parport is at the normal address of 0x378. I did not do a loadrt
probe_parport. I have now added it, but still get the same error.

When I connect the USB cable, one LED (left most) flashes momentarily and
goes off, the second red LED and the yellow LED are on steady. After trying
to download, there is no change.

Bummer.
You remembered to rmmod parport_pc or reboot after that test, right?
Can you hop on IRC? I'm on #emc and #emc-devel.

That to me indicates that you have the 7I43 in USB
Peter,
Yep, that was it. Set it to parallel port and it basically worked.
Thanks,
Eric
That to me indicates that you have the 7I43 in USB config mode, this wont
work for EMC...
When the 7I43 is on EPP mode and first powered on, all three status lights
should be on
