Using Paralel port

Using Paralel port

[Alain M.]

Hi,

How do I use the paralel port (direct hardware access)??

I have this in my ~/.dosemu/dosemu.conf and /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf:
$_ports = "device /dev/parport0 fast range 0x378 0x37a"
$_lpt1 = ""
$_lpt2 = ""
$_lpt3 = ""

I call Dosemu like this:
dosemu -X -s -f ~/.dosemu/dosemu.conf

I added this to /etc/dosemu/dosemu.users
alain c_all

NOTE that:
- the device /dev/parport0 and range I got from 'cat /proc/ioports'
- VMware uses the same device
- even with VMware running and using the device, no error is reported on 
the console

Please help :(
Alain

Re: Using Paralel port - solved

Solved! a comma was missing in the range command...

Sorry to bother. There must be an universal law that states that within 
2 minutes that you post a question you find the answer yourself...

Thanks,
Alain
