If you have a recent (dec-1999+) emc running, download ioshow.tcl from
linuxcnc.org/dropbox. It's intended to be a script but you can run it stand
alone if you edit it's third line for the location of your plat/????/bin
directory. Ioshow is set up for linux_2_0_36.

Get emc running with your favorite gui and start a second terminal and run
ioshow.tcl and you should be able to see the ports and switch between 0x278
and 0x378.

I don't think minimill runs estop in or out. If you run bridgeport you
need a second parallel port or the estop in pin may inhibit the whole system.
