If your machine uses both threads, it is selectable in halscope.  Most of 
us using a Mesa card do not have a base thread, servo thread is as fast 
a thread as is running.

This point fairly reeks of needing to use something like the old C1G 
breakout card from cnc4pc.com. I don't know if Leonardo is now making 
something similar, but this card has an led tally on every line, input 
or output.  As a troubleshooting tool, having those led's visible thru a 
window over the top of the card, makes it worth the nominally 90 dollar 
bill it was sold for.

Hum, just checked, the C11T at $136 is as close as he gets to that older 
card now. Looks like it can also do more than the C1G could, so I may 
buy one for the sheldon.  Those led's are at least as handy as bottled 
beer because the are instant troubleshooters.

Is anyone else making a board with tally led's on it?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
