The first smart-serial boards (the 8i20 and 7i64) didn't have the self-configuation scheme, so I named the pins to match the (widely ignored) canonical pin naming convention doc. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/canonical-devices.html Mesa then brought out the second wave of smart-serial devices that declare their pin types and layout, and give the pins names. In master I created psuedo-roms for the 8i20 and 7i64, and they then work through the same interface as the later boards. (It is perhaps a pity that Mesa didn't try to keep the pin names consistent with LinuxCNC, but they have other customers).
