Caveat: I haven't even tried to use a parport for about 5 years... I don't think that you can read too much into 0x378 not erroring, I get no error with an explicit address on my VM which I know has no parport. You might find this useful: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Parallel_Port_Tester You need to alter the HAL file to change the base address, but at least you can test with a voltmeter on the actual pins, or short an input to a gnd pin to see the on-screen "led" change state. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
