>  Thanks for correcting my outdated information!

My statement:
" The commit 2dbb2f640f changed the interface between
EMCIO and TASK to use a memory mapped interface."
was incomplete and not really accurate.

To clarify:

The tooldata interface was altered to use a memory mapped
interface reducing the size of the NML EMC_STAT message
which was greatly increased when the number of tools
(pockets actually) was changed to 1000 (CANON_POCKETS_MAX=1001).

NML is still used for TASK <--> EMCIO communication 
for commands and status but the status message is now
small in size as it does not contain data for all possible
1000 tools (pockets).

apologies for the confusion.
