I hate the 7i97T

Just a short rant how hard it is to setup this freaking card. Pnconfig wizard doesn´t work for it. You have to go the full manual way and it´s already a pain to get Mesa CT running and working. Some python needs to be installed, but thats a chapter by itself already. If you went through all the steps to finally get it recognized by Mesa CT and try to run that config with linuxcnc it doesn´t even find the card and exits with an error that the network isn´t reachable. I hate it so much i´ll throw it in the trash and go back to my 5i25 + 7i77. I´ll get a 5i26 for compability.

A bad workman blames his tools ...

Here is a sample 7I97/7I97T hal/ini configuration:

 

There's also an experimental pncconf version that supports the 7I97 you might try:
