(Please, forgive me if I am stating the obvious here.) My first guess would be that one port is at C000 and the other is at CC00. Using: loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xC000" loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xCC00" ... addf parport.0.read servo-thread addf parport.1.read servo-thread ... addf parport.0.write servo-thread addf parport.0.write servo-thread in the .hal that loads your drivers might work. Then for testing: net SpindleFwd motion.spindle-forward parport.0.pin-01-out net Flood iocontrol.0.coolant-flood parport.1.pin-01-out In your IO .hal file. You may have to try different addresses from the lspci list. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
