Thanks for your inputs. I will have a chance to do little more testing this weekend. I recall that I did have to reflash the 7i80 board a while back to get it to work with a newer version of linuxcnc-dev around the time when there was a change in the distinction between joints and axis. I will post the debug error messages when I'm able to get back to the project this weekend.
