Hello, I just bought a parallel port card, and although it's seen in the device manager, I can't seem to get Mach to use it. The address/range is CC00-CC07, and C800-C807. if I try to input either cc00, or c800, Mach doesn't recognize anything. I am on Win XP, there are no conflicts. The card is set to LPT2, the motherboards parallel port is set to LPT1, both work fine. I saw on the list, that I can try the opposite, using the motherboards parallel port as LPT2, and the PCI card as LPT1, but this didn't do anything either.
The cabling are straight through cables, and they plug into a C23 board from CNC4PC. I used to be using a smooth stepper, and was reading both ports through it. I decided to go straight parallel port, but so far no luck.
Anyone have suggestions? I was hoping to be cutting all weekend;)
