General Mach Discussion / 2nd parallel port
« on: March 31, 2012, 04:41:22 PM »
I have a dell optiplex with XP and have been using it for a couple of years to control a G540. I bought 2 different PCI parallel ports with Moschip hardware on them and the C26 buffer board from CNC4PC. I have searched and read extensively on this forum for a solution to my problem with no success. I can not get Mach to seem to recognize it. The board shows up in the hardware list on the PC fine. I have tried various moschip drivers (although their website no longer seems to support driver download). I have swapped the cables between the two G540s and the problem follows the port. I can't get the charge pump to engage (green LED on G540). I have tried the board in another PC with windows7 with the same result.
Is there a way to see what Mach sees from this port?
Any suggestions for how to get it working?
Thanks!
