Re: Feature Request

[Ray Henry <rehenry-at-up.net>]

If you are interested in the revised IO_Show.tcl file, I put a copy of it 
as plain text in the dropbox at linuxcnc.org.  All you should have to do 
to run this is place it in your emc/tcl/scripts directory and make it 
executable.  I'll get this update into sourceforge soon.

This adds the ability to put additional parport addresses into IO_Show by 
setting a line in the [DISPLAY] section of your ini.  That line might read

[DISPLAY]

; addresses of extra parallel ports for IO_Show.tcl script
EXTRA_PARPORTS = 0x180 0xB000
 
Good luck and let me know what you find with it.
