I would think twice about using all those old wires as AB controls were notorious for having connection problems.I chased never ending problems in 550 and 1050 Ge controls with old wire.....Ge didnt use stranded wire.
You can run the porter dc motor with a Gettys n350 dc drive.They are every where.They are not transistors,scr's,but they work and are bullet proof.

sudo mv ~/Desktop/rmsv8_8.bit /lib/firmware/hm2/
However after moving them I think the file path should have been
sudo mv ~/Desktop/rmsv8_8.bit /lib/firmware/hm2/5i23/ ?
However now I cant seem the get the sudo mv command to work for moving the files one lever deeper. I tried
sudo mv ~/lib/firmware/hm2/rmsv8_8.bit /lib/firmware/hm2/5i23/
with no luck, I think my notation may be incorrect.

open a terminal, enter sudo nautilus
it opens a super-user graphical file browser.
then copy and paste the file where you want it.

It is. You need to lose that tilde. ( ~ ) symbol. That means "relative to my home directory" and /lib/ is in the root directory.

I require the PIN file then I can build one for you.

I have everything moved to the correct directory, there was 7 bit files and 5 pin files. However when I try to use PncConf I still do not see my daughter cards in the list of selectable cards? I also DL'd the freeby.mesanet.com/rmsvss6_8.bit file and moved it into the same directory with the same result in PncConf. I can see the bit file contents if I load it in Hal, but im not sure how to select a bit file from inside PncConf?
Because you are using a bitfile that Pncconf is unaware of, you will probably need to set us a config as close as possible with a similar bitfile which is known to pncconf, then hand-edit the HAL file to suit the actual bitfile.
It is very unlikely that your machine would ever be fully configurable in pncconf anyway, so you would be hand editing eventually anyway.
Try an svss.... bitfile, and then it might not be a lot more difficult than just changing "encoder" to "resolver" throughout the HAL file.
If you then start linuxcnc from the command line ("linuxcnc") you will be able to work through the problems one at a time until the HAL loads. Adding "show pin" in the HAL file after the block of "loadrt" statements at the top of the HAL file will put a list of available pin names into the output, which can be helpful.
