.hal file is ok, and I tried with those three addresses but still nothing comes
out.
Ok, if this card is not able to output good EPP signals, can anyone suggest me
good hardware to go with?
I will use it for running 5 axis (gantry) milling machine, for now with
steppers, and maybe in the future switch to servos.
