Well, my 11x36 Sheldon is about ready to help me fit a new barrel on old 
meat in the pot.  Bertho Stultiens much improved version of the hm2_rpsi 
driver is issueing commands to the 7i90 at 41.666 MHz write speeds, and 
reading the results flawlessly at 25 MHz. That last kernel change Bertho 
suggested is working very well indeed.  As are my jogging dials and the 
gui addtitions that show what they are doing.

Next I need to enlarge the tooling mix, more tool holders for the 
Phase-II QC post, and maybe get a tooling grinder, and make a few more 
accessories like a backend spider.  The best I could do today is a video 
of it running the lathe-pawn.ngc program cutting air.  Beginning with a 
tour of the controls, featureing an rpi-3b, a Mesa-7i90 card you can 
almost see because its well hidden under 3 of the Mesa 7i42-TA's which 
put surge protections and noise filtering for the 7i90 into play in 
addition to supplying a decent place to connect all the wires.

I am fairly happy with how it runs now, and its now time to tool it up 
and put it to work.

When is this thing scheduled to take place?

As in how much time do I have to shoot it with my semi-hidef Sony digital 
Handi-cam, which does 720x480, and edit it into something that is not 
sleep inducing?  And giving me time to add CSS to the spindle speed in 
this program, which would show better than the fixed 200 rpms its doing 
now.  And for cutting air, other speeds could be upped too. This would 
be a good excuse to further fine tune the MAXVELS etc in LinuxCNC.
