When PCI card installed, it defaulted to LPT3
I have set it back to port 2, saved settings, and shut down MACH3
Now it actually works!
For some reason it was not updating the XML file?
Thanks again!

What windows names the port has no bearing on what Mach calls it. In Mach you have Port 1 and Port 2 for parallel ports and the address set for each is what Mach looks at. So windows could call it LPT 1 and LPT 400 if it wanted but as long as you have the correct address set in Mach it will be Port 1 and Port 2 as far as Mach is concerned.

The changes you make will take effect immediately after a reset but will only actually be written to the xml on a restart of Mach.

LPT3 is NOT Port3.

You get Two parallel Ports, and they are either assigned to Port1, or Port2. The LPT #'s don't mean anything to Mach3.
