Hi Richard The tuning required by the 2020 is a real pain but for now there is no other way to handle it. What distribution of EMC are you using? I ask because there are different diagnostic tools from BDI to EMC2.
If the Linux box and the EMC on it is able to run another machine using the same parport and step-and-direction signals, my first thought is that it is not the EMC. A couple things come to mind. Is it possible that the R2020 is not dropping out of tuning or SPI mode and accepting step-and-direction signals? Is it possible that there is a broken wire or connection between the Linux box and the drive?
