Mesa card config : 7I97T -> 7I85 -> 7I70 + 7I71

Could some one please assist with an example HAL to show with the following configuration.

7I97T main board -> P1 connector -> 7I85
7I85 -> serial port 1 -> 7I70
7I85 -> serial port 2 -> 7I71

All the tools I have been testing with do not seem to output a configuration that will load in Linuxcnc.

Further to this, the firmware available for the 7I97T with 7I85 does not provide access to the i / o on the 7I97T board shown in the pin out test. Does using the 7I97T + 7I85d firmware then disable the i / o on the 7I97T ?

Thank you in advance.

Not sure any configuration utility currently  works fully for the 7I97/7I97T

The 7i97t_7i85d firmware does support all 7I97T on card and 7I85 features,
but you would likely have to start with a sample 7I97T configuration and add
the additional I/O for the 7I70 and 7I71.

Edit: Have you tried pncconfs discovery feature? I think it will fail at
discovering the 7I97T local inputs but should work at setting up the
7I70 and 7I71 I/O, possibly creating a donor file to cut/paste bits
into the basic 7I97 sample file.
 

I have searched the forums but I can not seem to find the discovery feature. I am running 2.9.2.
Update : By enabling the advanced options on the first screen, this then shows up the discovery option as you mention. The board is not supported but provides a good starting point to move forward another step. Thank you!

I am finding this more difficult that expected. Is there anyone I can pay consulting fees on getting the initial setup?

Thank you for your reply.
