I ended up getting an error about a broken pipe I am absolutely no expert, but I suspect that the problem is that the parport driver expects to find a parallel port, not an IDE port and some form of handshaking is breaking down. It also sounds like you want to use the port for comms to a step generator, not for actual step/dir signals so I suspect a specific driver will be required, though that might not need to do very much more than inb and outb to the port address. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
