Well I just tried the same PCI card and Pluto in my office PC and it worked fine. I had to unload a module because I got a device busy error, but basically it work as expected.
The office system is 10.04 EMC2 2.4.3, the mill is 8.04 EMC 2.3.? Notes for the mill: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/EMC2/startech-1a.txt Notes for office PC: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/EMC2/office_epp.txt As Jon mentioned, I have also noticed that the extended registers are not always 0x400 above the base, which is why I have the base and extended address as a required option on my command line utility. I seem to recall the NetMos datasheet might mention extended register locations. I noticed the "spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7" on the setup that does not work, but Google seems to thick this is not a significant message. I didn't show it in the text but the showport I ran before trying pluto_servo had an ECR of 149 with 133 after. The difference is the IRQ flag, bit 4, was cleared. IRQ7 is shared with the motherboard parallel port. The office PC uses IRQ 17. I have no idea if any of the above is significant. I suppose I should try 10.04/2.4.3 on my mill. I tried testing another KM-400 motherboard, the same as the mill, but had the same problem. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
