Those files do not exist in the 5i25 downloads I have dl'd from PCW's web 
page at mesanet.com. But the latest copy is dated 2015.  Duh!  So I 
pulled a fresh copy.  And there they are! So thats going to be a help.  
Thanks Andy.

The gs540 I take it, works with the std 5 axis "Mach" bobs like the 
Sainsmart.  That might need some hal editing, but would be ideal if 
thats the case. Bringing all of P2 to the menu for tool changer and such 
stuffs. That will encourage me to get to work on that when I better and 
bored.

Peter wants me to rejumper this whole rig so that all the 5 volts is 
powered from the 5i25. We'll (I've a mouse in my pocket) give that a 
shot tomorrow.

Everything has its own 5 volt supply right now, so is never powered down 
to reset unless I pull the line cord to the interfaces box which ATM 
I've not yet done.  I'll check my inventory for a switch, could be all I 
need is to reset everything with a power switch cycle.

Thanks Andy.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
