fine (?) > Especially I don't want to get married to DOSEMU. I'm not sure what you mean by this. You will need to be familiar with DOSEMU in order to make use of it. > Apparently OP wrote that one needs to "disable the printer driver" ? The printer driver and DOSEMU's port passing cannot share the physical printer port. Therefore you need to disable the printer driver if you want to use DOSEMU's port passing, either temporarily or permanently. > > # Don't load lp driver. > > > > alias char-major-6 off > > alias /dev/printers* off > > alias /dev/lp* off > > Thanks, apparently that would acheive 1 of the 3 requirements > which OP listed ? > > I've seen info. about: > $_ports = "0x378 0x379 0x37a" Yes, and remember to use 'fast' unless you want to do debugging/tracing: $_ports = "fast range 0x378 0x37a" means pass through 0x378-0x37a in fast mode. > So now I need to investigate: "2. pass the IRQ to DOSEMU," It's directly underneath $_ports in the config file ($_irqpassing). You have to start DOSEMU as root or use sudo in order for port/irq passing to work. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
