Bringing this back up as I'm striking out with Tormach. Their response when I asked if they'd be supporting the new cards was basically "we only support the card we sell on our website", which the best I can tell is just a 7i92 in a fancy enclosure....that they sell for 3x the price of a Unless they have an absolute ton of those on hand, I would assume they're going to have to write in support for the T cards soon than later.

So I'm stuck trying force the T card to work, or spending another $300+ on the "correct" card from Tormach an then I'm stuck with the $130 t card that I really don't have a use for. Entirely my fault for not doing the research, but still annoying.

So what would it take for an idiot that can barely make his way through linuxcnc to learn how to write the firmware, disable the PP update script, etc. and make this work? Is there anyone in the community that does this kind of thing for a little beer money?

Let me see if there are any 7i92 blems in the junk box...

Flashing the firmware and renaming the card should be easy (well it is easy, probably done in two lines in a terminal, that is all for normal stuff) but Tormach is mentioned here less and less, but might still have someone to help with the startup script.

Found one with bad I/O (pin 13)  on P1 but Tormach only uses P2:

Can i have 20 of those, please?

You rock!
