Sorry, I haven't gotten round to it yet. After having a couple of new issues with using my Pluto-P with a PCI parallel port card, it seems I don't have a full understanding of the problem yet. I suppose this should not prevent me from posting the current status of the utility on the wiki, when I get round to it. There is a parallel port tester of sorts in the pyVCP examples here: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal_pyvcp_examples.html One could just use a jumper wire from an input hole to an output to verify that the puns, rather pins, work. A more formal tester hardware would try to protect the port from the user doing silly things, but basically do the same thing. I'll try to make progress on this soon, maybe. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
