Hi all-
I have figured most of the bugs out with lots of help- THANKS.
Here is the latest one. I can deal with it, but it is a pain.
I am using two parallel ports. One is on the mother board and the other is on a add on slot.
I have it configured correctly in mach, and everything works as it should. I made sure I saved everything.
I can close out Mach and restart the computer. Open the ports and pins page and everything is like it is supposed to be---except the second parallel port is not working.
All I have to do is the save the address as a bogus address, close ports and pins, open ports and pins, then change the address back to the correct address. Then save
everything works correctly then.
Any Ideas???

What is the address? I seem to remember something like that with a C000 address I once had.

Hood- I am not going to the shop today, but I will get the information tomorrow.
If I remember correctly it is d090. I change it to d098, then back to d090. And everything works.
These is a Dell optiplex 520, and I have heard that this pc and mach don't play well together.
Is there anyway to change the address of the parallel port?

Dont know if you can, not into PP much these days.

the add-on card can have a port address forced by moving it to a different slot on the board. Or remove it, run the computer, then refit it.
