My ongoing troubles with using the ax5214h driver with an Acess DIO-48 card
may be of assistance to some others.
I checked the Axiom manual for the card, and discovered that the three
most significant bits of the 8255 control reg. were pre-empted in some way
on the board. This resulted in
Yes Jeff, that looks like exactly what I did. -- Bearing in mind that it
was for a Acess PCI-DIO-48s board. I think that it
can be used with the Axiom board as well with 100% success ( I wish I had
one of their boards to test ) .
I think someone should test this before any changes are
Indeed -- I don't have such a card to test. (I didn't read your earlier
message closely enough and missed the fact that this is merely a card
similar to the axiom card)
I think I understand why the original configuration outb()s are written
in that order: In the new order, the outputs are

It is better to avoid large posts on the list. For images, try
the new code mod is like this:
