i got it working finally. thanks for your patience and help.


all i had to do was add a few lines into hal to reverse some pins and move my spindle wires on my BOB.

the only issue i have is that my GUI (axis) reacts slowly when the spindle is on. (it did that on the parallel port too), it is better with the mesa, but not fixed completely. but now at least i can type a letter and have a 50% chance of it entering into the MDI. before i would have to keep tapping a key for a while until it would notice.
