Thank you for the help guys.  I am still building the computer/cnc.  Wiring the mesa hardware is all that's left.

With that said I am having issues installing Debian 12.  On install I get a bad mirror error.  Once installed sudo apt update gets a few repository errors.  I believe this is all from not being connected to Internet during the install.  Using a USB Wi-Fi dongle that is missing the driver during install, but once booted into Debian 12 is works.  I will try using Ethernet to connect to Internet on the next install.  

With that said, are there any eatx or atx motherboards that work well out of the box with Debian 12?  I am using a dell optiplex 9010 motherboard that I put into an old hypertherm microdedge CNC case.

Success.  I went with LMDE6 and the install went much smoother.  Upgraded to 2.10 and can run a qtplasmac sim.

You would replace /usr/bin/pncconf with the pncconf.py file, ie "sudo mv pncconf.py /usr/bin/pncconf". You might also need to do a "sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/pncconf". I would suggest making backup copies of those files first just in case.

Thank you so much.  I was able to create a 7i97t config.  No errors on starting or shutdown.  The 7i97t stays connected.
