Hardware key under DOS

Hardware key under DOS

[Rafael Delgado]

Dear sirs:

I tried to run a MSDOS working program that uses Rainbow Sentinel-C plus 
electronic key under "Dosemu-1.0.2" running under Linux Red-Hat V 7.2. 
The program can find the parallel port 0x378, but cannot read the 
Sentinel buffer.

Do you have a hint about this problem or can you give me a reference to 
begin a search about this topic?

Thank you in advance for your help

in dosemu.conf
$_ports = "range 0x378,0x37f"

and run dosemu as root or setuid root (sudo).

ensure that nothing is using that ports in /proc/ioports (the parport_pc
driver may have claimed them in which case you must remove it)

For debug,
dosemu -D+iT -o /tmp/dosemu.dbg.log
and examine /tmp/dosemu.dbz.log to see what is has the problem
accessing.

In short: dosemu doesn't support parallel
ports.

Here are some explanations:

But don't try the direct access or anything
else on such an outdated dosemu you are using.
It is not supposed to work and most likely won't
unless you upgrade.
