Re: STG IO




Hi Ray

A brief look at stg.c shows that the digital outputs do a read-modify-write 
to port C. So if four outputs are sufficient for spindle/coolant control, 
then a modified bridgeportio *should* work. Although I would be inclined to 
make a few changes and use port D for output and the upper half of port C for 
input.

Regards, Paul.
