But I am now confused. What is it that actually stops? Is EMC stopping in the middle of the program, or is EMC merrily running on, but the machine motion stops? I thought you were saying EMC was going to some kind of pause state. Sometimes you need to move the EMC window to see error messages hidden "below" the big window.
Ninteenth hole? Ohhhhh, bad pun! One thing I can think of might be the use of some of the unused parallel port pins, maybe one of them is "wired" via HAL to do something like pause, axis limit or something. If the input is left floating, a particular combination of signals at that point in the program could allow it to trip to the other logic state. (I am assuming this is NOT one of the machines with a UPC board in it?)
