Further update. Since I don't have anything tied to the parport on this box, I loaded up the Sherline 3 axis profile in place of the sim/axis version but didn't change anything in that configuration. Then I tried to load my code again, and the file was mix-mastered, names changed in lots of locations leading to errors. Determined to fix it, I also re-organized it a bit and shortened it by a few lines. Then I copied it to both the shop machine, and to the Genes-os9-stf/GCode directory where it can be downloaded from now. Lots of (debug, noise) though. As me, I can't access the file you can download, but just to check, I then loaded the copy off the mill, over an nfs share, and it ran here, on a 2.5.2 install. So after catching up on my sleep, since all the above was in the wee hours of the morning, I just went to the shop, AND it loads without any squabbles on the 2.6.0-pre on that machine now. I'd torn down the setup on the table in order to mount a jig to bore crossways holes in some leather strapping for the lady next door, who is and is married to a cherokee, and who is making some fancy pow-wow costume pieces. About a 15" piece of 3/8" wide strap, 26 holes at 1/2" intervals. And that is the limit of my table, I have to mount the jig very carefully to span that 12.75" in one step & repeat pass. Each of the breastplates takes 5 of those. Anyway, it looks like it will run on the 2.6.0-pre just fine now. WHOPPEE KI YI YEA! Over a week I been screwing with this. But I am puzzled at the damages that file had when I reloaded it after loading not the sim profile, but the default Sherline 3 axis setup instead. It certainly was NOT the code I had done a ctrl-s and ctrl-q to quit gedit 4 hours before! Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
