Unexpected realtime delay on task 1

I would say that you can ignore that for the time being.

Something to worry about later, it won't stop anything working.

What should I try next?

Where are you at now?
If you ran the latency test, does it say your machine is good enough to run the software?
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/stepconf.html#_latency_test

If it is, I'd start over with the step configuration wizard. That's where you couldn't get the motors to jog at first. Now that your hardware is (hopefully) fixed you should be able to work through the wizard to get a working configuration.

Find a small LED light, used in lighters and cheap Chinese torches, connect one directly to paraport and check if you get it to light up when pressing buttons on LinuxCnc, if you do, all is good, if you don't you have a address config error so change the address. Don't worry about polarity, they will light on one side and won't on the other but nothing can go wrong. Just do not use those 1w or more powerful ones.
Or use a multimeter if you can find or borrow one.

Also found on cheap key chains.

This is driving me crazy.

Joe - Can you take a picture of your c10s board and a driver pic? What kind of parallel port do you use?

Is there any parallel port or bob that is easy to set up? How well do the mesa cards work?
