Doug thank you for the reply.
I have tried to home the machine, however the axis drift is causing
the machine to trip the limits. The greater problem now is the control
will not complete its CRC check. This occurred after I removed and
cleaned the buss contacts on the LSI-11 and RRS logic boards in the
control cabinet. Is there something special I need to do if I have
removed the LSI-11 board? (Like depress some button or switch while
powering up?)
Thanks again, Stephen
