Look mate when the guys were trying to help you with your homing issue you refused to supply your ini & hal files. Do you get it ?

Just for the record, I never did get the tape to consistently run. Bought a tape emulator from Buddy Maughon at Accurate Machine Tool Serv. Initial issue was some of the 5volt regulators were marginal, so I replaced them all with PSU5 LM323 replacements from ezsbc.shop/.
I had also to replace a number of chips on several of the boards, eg watchdog timer, x axis counter, y axis encoder as the scale had a chip out of it and counted incorrectly, relay optical isolators, then all the tantalum caps on the 2 parajust control boards to get the spindle to run, but in the end, it works accurately as an original Machine and still does. But now started to Linuxcnc it in a sympathetic way.

Lenovo X220 and T420S are utterly useless for LinuxCNC so stay away from them.
And as usual, there is absolutely no guaranties that any of the ones that work for me, will also work for you. I had 2 of the same Acer laptops, one was very good, one utterly useless, despite being the same model number, but had different processors.
