I'm trying to run the CNC4PC MPG-3. I'll admit that I never actually got to the emc setup part, I just assumed that when it said disabled I was done :-)
So given that it might be working and given that I get the following output from lspci -v how do I know which port address to use? It's a dual-parallel port card, but I only need one port. should I assume 0xa400? I/O ports at a400 [disabled] [size=8] I/O ports at a000 [disabled] [size=8] I/O ports at 9800 [disabled] [size=8] I/O ports at 9400 [disabled] [size=8] I was planning on setting it up as an output to a stepper driver (G540) as the initial test and then try to configure the MPG. I'm out next week so won't have a chance to study your responses in detail until the week after, but thank you very much for your help, DougM On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 10:54 PM, Dave <e...@dc9.tzo.com> wrote: > On 8/4/2011 6:45 PM, doug metzler wrote: >> Hi, I recently bought a parallel port card that said it supported >> Linux and last night I tried to install it.
