Vexing EMC problem

Greetings,

I have managed to get the BDI up and going on my computer. I think I
have managed to get it mostly working (no small task..) I find the
most useful thing to have when doing BDI is a bunch of Linux friends.

Anyhow on to my problem-

The clock signals are not coming out of the correct pins on the
parallel port. When I run the 3dtest.ngc example I can see x-axis
clock coming out on pin 13 and y-axis comes out 3 pins over. I cant
see z-axis clock coming out anywhere. Nor do I see any direction
signals.

I tried it with both minimillio and bridgeportio. When I look in the
system information in KDE it has nothing assigned at 378. I have
tried every bizzare permutation in the BIOS with the ports. System
is a Dell Optiplex GXPro 200MHz. It has two serial (DB9) and one
parallel (DB25) connector. One of my linux friends had me try all
kind of contortions to get it (linux) to see the port, but to no
avail. Get a parallel port card ? Get a different sytem ?

Is there more info somewhere on the parallel port in EMC (as in NOT
the generic IBM web page on the parallel port) Like: what is the
pinout when using the auxilliary port with bridgeportio ? What is
the pinout for a fourth (rotary) axis ?

So close I can taste it, yet so far...

Thanx in advance for any help.
