I modified the pci_8255 driver and renamed it to pci_dio96 then compiled it
into EMC. I called the new driver in my cofig and it did show up with the
proper number of pins in hal show. Have'nt tested it yet but I do expect
some hurdles. The first time it lock up the computer completely while
loading EMC. I fixed a booboo and it loaded normally after that. I have a
little learning curve but I am on my way. Thank you for all your help so
far. If I can make this work it will give us 96 more IO points to play
with........Any future help is welcomed and appreciated...
Dave
