Well, I'm not quite there yet. I installed 10.04/2.4.3 onto the mill PC, brought up halrun, loadrt pluto_servo, it loads and "shows" all the pins and such... cool. Now, I update my mill .hal file, discover and fix the changed bits in the .ini file, start the mill and get no PWM output. I halmeter the PWM pins and it supposed to be running. I start over using the motherboard port and it works fine. After some fiddling, I find that if I specify the pluto_servo ioaddr_hi option, the driver won't load. Taking a wild guess I tried an ioaddr_hi at extended+2 and it loads fine, shows and retains pin and parameter settings, but no output. I think there may be a bug in the driver. All of the literature I have seen refers to the parallel port registers as two groups based on the base register address and the extended register address. The EPP juicy bit is the the register two spots above the extended register, so I think someone has mistaken it as the extended register reference address. Whether that would cause the symptom I am seeing, I don't know, but it might be worth a look-see. I'm wondering what I should do next. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
