I have just completed the conversion of my HERMLE 801 to EMC2. Rigid tapping

Steve,
The xorg.conf file and the description of the changes seem to identical to
what I saw. This is the instruction file Keytec sent me to create the
xorg.conf file. It worked without a hitch. I will use this for other
touchscreens also.
So, thanks to an assist from Jeff Epler and Chris Radek, I've gotten my
Arduino-HAL interface more or less fully functional with both inputs and
outputs. My purpose for this is to build a human-machine interface (read:
control panel for my mill). So far I've gotten it to turn input pins in
