10:11 PM skunkworks: pcw_home: thanks - no rush
10:12 PM skunkworks: cradek: does the pluto driver only work with rtai?
11:03 PM cradek: skunkworks: probably? I think it was never updated
11:03 PM cradek: it might even be removed for all I know, not sure what version is on this machine
11:15 PM skunkworks: it is still there. the first attempt didn't work (didn't see the pluto) even with epp_wide=0
11:15 PM skunkworks: (which is what I remember having luck with)
11:15 PM skunkworks: (but I think it only works with rtai)
11:15 PM skunkworks: (tried the wheezy iso)
11:27 PM cradek: is the parport bios in epp mode?
11:28 PM cradek: it's no big surprise if it doesn't work :-/
11:28 PM skunkworks: it says something like ecp+epp
11:29 PM cradek: that sounds right
11:30 PM cradek: I ordered two steppers and drivers today, I want to make two simultaneous wire unspoolers
11:31 PM cradek: they are step/dir. I might try using serport, the machine has two of them.
