Subject: [Emc-users] 7i43 usage
Hi all,
I'm trying to use a 7i43 I've had on the shelf for awhile.
200K version despite the error message. :-)
I've tried it on several motherboards and several paraport cards with
pretty much the same result.
Hopefully someone can give me a hint of what is really wrong.
Below is the message I get:
LINUXCNC - 2.7.14

So is there a cure or do I go find another approach?
TIA

What parallel port are you using?
Motherboard ports are much more likely to work than add-in cards
On add-in cards, you either need to figure out the cards base address
(it cannot be 0x378) or use 0 as the address (assuming Linux finds
the parallel port)
