Re: EMC minimill option/Parallel port issues

There really does need to be some sort of diagnostic to tell you why you can
not get out of ESTOP.
Today if I hit F1 enough times it will eventually say ESTOP RESET but then I
still can not turn the machine on and it was working yesterday and I have
made no changes. It is acting like I have noise on one of the lines but I
have no way to find out where to start.
