The card that is virtually identical to the PCI 5i25, is the 6i25 in PCI-e form. So that should solve one problem if your machine does not have both styles of slots available.
Second the std vs low profile is only in the cards back plate, and the choice is determined by your machine. If looking at the rear of the machine, the dummy card is around 4.5", thats a std profile, but its a low profile if only 3" and change. I have in a pinch, made a plate, but it is a bit of cuss & cry sometimes. :) > El mar., 10 de jul. de 2018 a la(s) 21:53, Gene Heskett ( > > ghesk...@shentel.net) escribió: > > On Tuesday 10 July 2018 20:13:27 yomin estiven jaramillo munera wrote: > > > Hi guys, I need configure 2 parallel ports PCI express ( > > > http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WCH) for a application of > > > 6 axis. however I am having some problems with the recognition of > > > parallel ports in Debian. > > > Someone knows what can I do with that? > > > I need that linuxcnc recognizes the 2 ports. but i must do a > > > initial configuration from terminal. > > > can you help me? > > > > Does this machine have a std pci slot?
