03:51 Tom_itx not only did he swap with me, he sent another card to test
03:52 Tom_itx pcie 72 io card
08:45 rue_bed cool
12:20 katsmeow-afk http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/leonard-nimoy-spock-star-trek-720036
13:06 Tom_itx http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=6i24&product_id=301
13:06 Tom_itx free
16:50 katsmeow-afk doesn't say free
16:51 katsmeow-afk The requested URL /software/parallel/6i24.zip was not found on this server.
17:46 Tom_itx it uses the 5i24 zip
17:46 Tom_itx same card but one is PCI instead of pcie
17:47 Tom_itx the file contains multiple setups
18:38 katsmeow-afk why can't it be used as a general purpose wintel i/o card?
18:39 Tom_itx maybe it could but you would have to write your own interface for it
18:39 Tom_itx the source is there
18:39 Tom_itx the interface is there for linuxcnc
18:40 katsmeow-afk no, i have learned: if i want it, it's not worth doing
18:41 Tom_itx and it supports sserial so for example you could have several of these running off it as well: http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69_70&product_id=123
18:41 Tom_itx i have one
18:42 Tom_itx each sserial instance supports 8 channels
18:42 Tom_itx iirc you can have 4? instances
18:42 Tom_itx so you can do the math for io there
18:42 Tom_itx http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69_70&product_id=114
18:43 Tom_itx 48 outputs
18:43 Tom_itx there comes a point latency gets too high to be practical
18:45 Tom_itx you need something with alot of io?
18:45 katsmeow-afk i have for decades, but it's not worth it
18:47 katsmeow-afk it's been toocold to even go get the snailmail for days, and i get maybe 5 minutes upstairs or outside per week
18:48 katsmeow-afk otherwise i am downstairs where it's warm (cannot finish the top floor because of dogs), no windows (cannot finish that because it bothers dogs), piles of garbage (cannot havegarbage pickup because of dogs),
18:48 katsmeow-afk etc etc etc
18:48 katsmeow-afk it all boils down to: i am not worth anything
18:50 katsmeow-afk no bath or shower, same problem: dogs
18:51 katsmeow-afk even if i had installed the downstairs shower, and flipped on the exhaust fan, the dogs bark, i goto jail, felony 10 years, for intentional mental cruelty on an animal
18:51 katsmeow-afk but forcing me to live like this is ok
