use one of the sim configurations , use them for testing or configuring panels etc , then copy across to your working config
once you have your 5i25 etc .( theirs additional files marked sim which do the tricks )

So do Tormach use a 7i76 on the other end of the 5i25 or do they use something else?

they use their own interface using USB for some gpio functions , and the 5i25 for stepgens etc
easily modified if you wanted to use a 7i76 etc , or any other interface

Played around this morning for a bit,

You can get to the desktop just cancel out of the controller and use the Left ALT + SHIFT at the tormach screen on reboot.

That is as far as I have gotten, have to go to work! Will play more when i get home. I will try and figure out how to get it to boot and bypass the mesa card check and work from LPT port.
