I'll see if I can find that option in the bios and turn it on. The quick boot option I believe skips that, and TBT I had forgotten about it. Thanks. In the meantime, since I'm going to transplant the existing bob to p2 on the 5i25, and build it into the new interface box alongside the 7i76, I'll see if I have to make standoffs for that and maybe get it moved today. That should give me enough i/o AND the ability to run the spindle, if I ever get a response out of the 7i76. sseriel isn't starting from the clues I'm getting. dmesg is reporting those 4 pins as gpio.
