Thanks for the reply. That clears things up a bit.

Moving beyond the parallel port (my first intention was to run via parallel) I have ordered the Mesa 7i76e BC my application will require more field GPIO than whats available on the native PP.

I am running Debian 9 (From the LinuxCNC downloads) with LinuxCNC 2.7.15. Will this version support the 7i76e and does it have the installation wizards for that card? If I have to upgrade the LinuxCNC version can I keep the general OS installation, I have made many tweaks to the OS for my app and would prefer to just upgrade LinuxCNC and leave the OS alone.

That version of LinuxCNC will work with the 7i76E. The bigger question is whether you have a compatible kernel.

What does uname -a say?

Debian 9 should work with Mesa ethernet, if it is the Linuxcnc version of it.
Check in terminal
uname -a
should have preempt rt somewhere.
Do not know about wizards, i rarely use them.
