Both cards on the packaging claim they are legacy cards.

They can "say" whatever they'd like you to believe but they only "look" legacy.

I spent an entire day troubleshooting the card. I'm convinced its a bug in Mach3 that does not let it adress high port numbers.

I replaced it with a 15$ ITT chipset card  and had it working in 3 minutes. 

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, some of these parallel port cards are not actual "Legacy" type cards and are more like special adapters and need special drivers to work, not the legacy drivers to use for a standard parallel port.

Did the Startech card have it's own drivers that you had to use?

How buggy it is, well who knows ( and they are all buggy!) and there is no forum to ask questions.

Excellent point, and we all know how I need support...

Hi Rich,

Looked at the turn section and the tutorial "playback" they have, and while I haven't given it a fair shake, I'm not really diggin it much.

I don't really like the way things are implemented but that could just be me.

It's no LazyTurn
