FAQs / Trying to run Mach 3 using a add-on PCIe parallel port card.

« on: January 15, 2017, 11:25:02 PM »

Hello, I'm trying to run Mach 3 using an add-on parallel port card ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003D3MFHC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) on Windows 7 32-bit. I cannot seem to get the parallel port card to interact correctly with Mach 3. There are two I/O ranges listed under the settings column in resources tab of the cards properties. The ranges are DF00 - DF07 and DE00 - DE07. Under the Port #1 in Mach 3 I've tried both port address DF00 and DE00. Neither address allowed me to turn the breakout on using Mach 3. I have since tested the breakout with another machine running Mach 3 and that computer worked but I really need the other computer to work as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
