Hello Jeff, thanks for answering this so promptly, although it was basically disappointing. But I don't mind hand editing files, if I knew what I was to do a little bit more detailed. I'll look for the files mentioned and probably will find them all right, but what values am I to enter there? Can you give me an easy to follow recipe? And - will stepconfig overwrite the entries the next time I use it? Will this problem be changed with the next version of EMC2? And: since I found a sales representative of Mesa in Germany, will the problem be gone with newer boards? Mine are about 15 years old and I could consider a new purchase if not too expensive...
