That worked perfectly, Thank you very much !

When starting the GUI I now get the following messages:
hm2/hm2_4i65.0: Warning: sserial remote device
 7i70 channel 5 has old
 firmware that should be updated

hm2/hm2_4i65.0: Warning: sserial remote device
 7i71 channel 7 has old
 firmware that should be updated

I was searching for instructions how to update the cards but cant find usefull information.
Looks like theres a Tool calles "updatess" but couldnt find that either.

Maybe you have Information on the update procedure?

Thanks

www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/sserial.tgz

Thanks for the fast response and the files.
Yes the cards are quite old, I guess I bought them 2013/14.
Looks like theres the next problem with upating the cards.
sudo mesaflash --device 4i65 --sserial
SSLBP port 0:
  SSLBP Version: 1.42
  SSLBP Channels: 8
  SSLBP Baud Rate: 250000
The README states that a version of at least 1.43 is necessary otherwise the FPGA card firmware needs to be updated first.

Akk! I'll update the 4I65 firmware (again...)

The 5I20/4I65 (basically same hardware)
are our oldest LinuxCNC supported cards
And I have not built firmware for them for
maybe 7 -8 years or so
