    Probably no such list other than the few mentioned in the PathPilot Manual. Tormach is not big on giving out details of PathPilot.

    There are LinuxCNC named paramters and then there are PathPilot named parameters and THEN you can also access the Hal side parameters/pin values.

    Re: Cloning a PathPilot hard drive

    It would be a GREAT idea to be able to CLONE your HD from PP. Replacing the PC is simple replicating all the software and settings is not.
