General Mach Discussion / Re: adding second parallel port?

« on: December 07, 2006, 09:51:33 AM »

Straight thru means pin one on one end = pin one on the other.Pin 2=2 etc. I'm not referring to the cables inside the PC. I'm speaking of the cable that plugs into the DB 25 connector on your parallel port card. I don't know what you are hooking to the end of this cable. What ever it is, it will dictate weather or not the pin out on your cable will work. Most breakout boards I've seen require a straight Thur cable. None of this may pertain to you yet. If you are checking the signal at the parallel port itself, don't let any thing I've said slow you down. If you are checking the signal on the opposite end of a cable that is plugged into your DB 25 connector, check the pin out of your cable. I have seen a few get bit by this one.

Just a thought. What kind of cable are you hooking to the port? Is it a straight thru? I don't think a standard printer cable is.

I know this is a silly question but, do you have your soft limits enabled? What version are you running. I could do some test on mine.

I had that figured. I know you are very capable indeed. I still have that clock in the back of my head. You do good work Benny. It is so easy to get so busy and forget to say thank you sometimes. It never hurts to give the ones that deserve it a pat on the back. I guess they were thinking it would bog the forum down a little. I know what you mean though. I wanted to put this up in General Mach but was afraid of opposition as well. Keep up the good work Benny.

Good job on the Chrismas decorations. Makes me slow down a little and say thank you.

THANK YOU, FOR ALL YOU DO!

I would list names but it would sound like an Emmy acceptance speech. All of you know who you are.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Get yourself some good oil for the all thread, the cheap stuff stinks when it smokes.

Michael,
    I didn't mean to sound like I was getting on you, just stating my thoughts. I don't think Art will mind you having a copy in your office to work with at all.
