OK looks as though I'm making progress (well sort of!)
I hooked up LED's to my port as per Chris's suggested and sure enough I can
make the LEDs light using the IO_Exercise script. I then tried to run
EMC and after overriding the estop etc it locked up and rebooted the PC. I
rechecked the INI file using the examples given in the handbook to overide the
limit switches etc and tried rerunning EMC and this time it just locked the
PC without rebooting. The lockup occurs when I try and use the arrow keys to jog
the motors.
I'm going to recheck the archive in the morning to see if this is a known
issue.
