[Emc-users] ax5214h troubles

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 " do
