Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] beating a dead horse

Hi Jon

The base address for the DRO card is hard coded for 0x200 - The card must be
set to this until such time as the software has been changed to accept an ini
parameter. At present, I'm not sure that this has a particularly high
priority, so the changes may be some time off.

SHMEM_BASE_ADDRESS is redundant I believe for later versions of rtlinux. The
run scripts still look for it, so it may be unwise to omit the parameter
altogether.

Regards, Paul.
