(Noting that you already have most of that configured for the Mesa counter)

Andy I am not to confident in adding that lot as I am using the mesa card I not so sure it is a cut and paste job.

If you have the time could you have a look at my HAL and INI files to see what goes where?

I have put a scope on the index and A connections on the 7i76 and it looks OK to me with the chuck running

Ok Andy have a good trip and thanks for the help so far. I have posted in the Driver section to see if Peter will come on board but I will let you know the results.

your posting in multiple places , please keep to one , makes it easier to follow progress , and ultimately help
running the latest pncconf will also give you the correct pinouts , but by what i can see your ok . if you have a problem , i can take a closer look . after re- my comments on jumpers
