Thanks you @tommylight - I was somewhat fearful that my response was offensive and it was by no means intended to be. @PCW pointed me to the HAL documentation (I didn't discover that part of the documentation myself because I was 'spindle' focused and not 'general hardware') which was still 'over my head' because (I think) it is written from an integrator's context/viewpoint.

EDIT:
Opened and browsed the 'Integrator Manual' you referenced. It's 342 pages in length... I think that competes with 'War and Peace' for 'longest book'. BUT! definitely where I should have been focused. That document will be on my desktop and as I have time - I will be reading it.

Thank you everyone for your hints and help - my 'voyage of discovery' has exited the rough waters of the storm (my system is yet again working) and I will be gracefully sailing smooth waters as I figure out how to implement 'auto-zero' for Z (not sure that's the correct term) and maybe even some custom G-code sequences for startup and shutdown.

Oh my god, thank you, it worked.
So I can get out of e-stop now, but my drivers are still not responding, but one thing at a time.

Yes, I tried from the terminal,  same.... empty tab.    I posted the results in the terminal window in my previous post.  (errorfile.txt)

Also, I noticed in step 3 of the instructions aux_gladevcp is referenced but there is no such file  YET the verify instructions reference gladevcp  (no aux_)   aux_gladevcp is again referenced in step 9.

One other observation... step 3,  NativeCAM filder is copied into /gladevcp but later the ini file references the path as ncam,   there does not seem to be a ncam folder.     (my very old linuxcnc with nativecam has a ncam folder)
