Thank you Andy. I think the driver works just fine. I agree that the control port is bidirectional. I would think that the entire control group of pins is set to either output (for modes in and out) and set to input (for mode x). I am just trying to confirm this. This is why I think

I realize it's a tad off topic but I think Bjorn Ekwall wrote the first parallel port driver for Linux a long time ago. I worked with Bjorn in 2000 in the UK. Bjorn died from a Heart Attack around 2001. He was one of the Linux Pioneers. https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5043 Search for

Hello all, I have been working on a series of tutorial videos on YouTube on CNC for the Home Hobbyist.  In the tutorial I am currently working on, I am discussing the parallel port.  I want to give as accurate information as I am able.  My question is about the documentation found at [

I think that would depend on the machine you are placing the cards in. A SFF (Small Form Factor) machine will require a low profile card while a regular desktop will take a full size card. Joe - On 11 Jul, 2018, at 13:13, yomin estiven jaramillo munera yejm...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi,

Hello Ed, I plan to thread the bolts with rollers. The main concern for me was if the 1045 steel can be cold forged for this purpose of making the head of the bolts. I've machined forged camshafts of 1045 steel but they were made with the hot forging method. I must say I have zero experience in

Which Intel NUC did you get? A couple of years ago I got a zotac box with dual ethernet ports thinking that I might use it as either a router or to drive an ethernet mesa board. I think it will end up as a router. Eric Keller Boalsburg, Pennsylvania On Wed, Jul 11, 2018 at 4:05 AM Sven Wesley
