Re: [Emc-users] Installing an MPG Pendant
I did reboot the system and recheck the address reported by lspci, which was the same. That may not be very definitive, but at least serves as a data point. Unfortunately the card doesn't appear to show up in the bios setup. I'll check again. N.

[Emc-users] Installing an MPG Pendant
I'm having some trouble getting my system configured to accept a pendant. I've got a ECS TIGT-I2 motherboard with an Atom D410 processor and built in parallel port. That seems to work fine controlling my mill. The hitch is that the motherboard only has a PCIe bus on it. Having seen some posts that favorably mentioned SIIG boards, I ordered their DP 1-Port board (JJ-E01211-S1). After installing the new hardware, I started following the Hooking Up A MPG Pendant wiki. Here is the relevant output from executing 'lspci -v': 02:00.0 Parallel controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device c110 (prog-if 02) Subsystem: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device c110 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 I/O ports at ec00 [size=8] I/O ports at e880 [size=4] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Device Serial Number 10-01-00-11-11-e0-30-00 Capabilities: [110] Power Budgeting ?
