hi Brian, i have check the address, these are 0xda00 for lpt1 and oxd600 for the lpt2, the machine work correctly with 4 axis, the problem is:
i have reset the PC, and restart mach3, and the machine not work (all the axis is off)
my OS is win2000 pro
i have mounted double port lpt and disable the native port in the BIOS
