Thinkpads (and some other IBM computers) used 3A8 for the LPT1 printer port address. Most other comptuers use 378 as the LPT1 base address. I used to use a lot of Thinkpads for programming while using the parallel port, and I had to put in the option for which base address to use. I still have two old Thinkpads in addition to Dells and other brands, and therefore must still support both parallel port addresses in whatever I write that twiddles printer port bits. Terry
