This assumes the card is installed but linuxcnc isn't running so no drivers are loaded?

I was hoping it was a matter of moving the db25 connector on the rear of the machine. I'll print this, and go get it on that box. gunzip works on that .zip file I'd assume. What I will do is reconfigure my BOB to try & match the 5i25 pin outs. The .hal files won't match when I move the plug, but I'll see how much schmardter I can get doing it. Back later, I promise, unless I get dead or something. Thanks Peter. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
