Is it possible that Mach doesn't recognize the addresses provided by the PCI card Chipset? Colin

The initial address which came up right after I installed the Port Driver was: D800-D807& D480-D487 Port *1, in Port #2: DC00-DC07 & D880-D887.
Now, in the port settings window I have the "use any interupt assigned to this port" checked. Is this right? Colin

Sorry, it originally said *LPT2 & #LPT3, of course I have changed them now.

I made the changes last night because it was showing (2-9) as unchecked. When I went back into the xml, it still showed it as married to port 2. Do I have to reboot after making changes like that? I disabled port 2 as well with no change to the xml or the problem. Still no motor movement or signals on the port. Now when I put this PP card in, it came with an additional port to be plugged into the board (PCI Card). I did not plug the second one into the card thinking I did not need it.

Do I need to pre-tune the motors before attempting this stage of setup?
According to the setup video, I thought I coverded the required config. just to see if I had motor response. Is there something I should take a look at?

Is it possible that making as many changes as I have made, be counterproductive? Kristen said I should consider uninstalling I guess Mach3, PCI card Drivers etc. and reinstall. Should I be doing that?

Hope this is it!

Well...it went up, hope it's the right one. I may have to step out for a couple of hours. Will check back as soon as I can. Thanks Colin

For some reason I am having trouble replying with this attachment. I guess I need assistance with that too.

Does that computer need to be online? or can I save it to say, the USB key?

I did the driver test and it is saying that mach3 "took control"

There was a good line and the freq. is approx. 25,800.

It all seemed ok. Colin
