What version are you running? ppmc.N.encoder.N.index-enable is an I/O pin from the ppmc driver in version 2.1.X and in CVS head. In 2,0,X, the ppmc index was wrong - but that has been fixed for a couple of months. Again - I encourage you to use the IRC channel - it can be a lot faster than email. If your EMC computer is on the net, then IRC is trivial to use. From the main menu, click Internet->Xchat, select "irc.freenode.net" from the list of servers, then /join #emc and/or /join #emc-devel Regards, John Kasunich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
