Windows 7 & Parallel Port Address Config
« on: August 09, 2012, 03:03:01 PM »
We have a new 32bit Win7 machine that has a board with LPT3 (parallel) & COM3 (serial) that appears to be connected via COM1. The MFG is SUNIX. We cannot find the address for LPT3 (there is no "resources" tab) however COM1 reports 03f8-03ff. If we use 03f8 the diagnostics form reports 7 pins but we have no idea if they are the right ones. We cannot clear e-stop or control any motors.

Any suggestions?  ???

Thanks!

Ran GetPortAddress.exe in the Mach3 dir and found several references to the "multi-I\O" card. We tried several of the starting address ranges and found that 0x3040 resolved our problem.
