I tried to short pin 13 with 19 (GND) on my only parallel port ,
changed the ini file aux_io port to 378 . but no luck.

I tried Ray procedure (which is to change EMCIO to minimillio in
emc.ini)& got out of Estop only in steppermod.o file.
But i'm using the stg2mod.o file (STG 2 card). /w AC Servo. The
minimillio file didn't workout for the STG2 card.

I prefer the ini file editing prcedure as i'm not good in electronics
or Linux .
