Aaron,
Since you indicated that you are adding a second port you need both
ports in your config

Thanks for reply.
I am using steppers, so do I add my read and writes to the servo thread or the
base
thread?
My .hal file still has all the original configuration lines in, which I know
work... will
it run once I make these changes or is

The step (and direction) pulses that steppers or step/direction servo
and stepper controllers use, need to be very fast,
I/O ports at 9000 [size=8]
I/O ports at 9400 [size=8]
which is the address and where do I find the hal file to put it in
Thanks
Aaron

Thanks or very detailed reply. I will try it later today. One thing...I am
using steppers, do I need to run the functions for the servo threads?
Thanks again

If you are going to use your parport to drive the step and direction

I have added..
loadrt hal_parport cfg=0x9000
addf parport.0.read servo-thread
addf parport.0.write servo-thread
to my hal file (hopefully in the right places). Can I not configure the pins
through the step config wizard?
No, you can't use stepconf
This is where Stepconf can help the someone less versed in the config files
though - you can make multiple machine setups and then go through the .hal
and .ini files and marry the two together to get the results you want
without really having to know the details of the hal and ini files.

Hi
You guys
for the port, if it is a PCI or newer card, it will probably just work.
Some old ISA and earlier cards had to be jumppered, but instructions came
with them.
Now 'just work' is another issue. The board can work, but you still have
some HAL
configuration to do to let EMC know how to deal.

Hi
Can some one tell me what I need to do to install a second parallel port
apart from physically plugging it into the computer or will it
just 'plug and play'
Thanks for any help in this.

Check back in the archives to about the sixth (five days ago).
Aaron,
I bought my 2 parallel port pci card from Newegg. It is uses a
netmos nm9815cv chip.
After physically plugging it into the computer, I ran lspci -v from
a terminal window to locate the port addresses. Thus far it was just
plug and play.
The next step is to edit the .hal file. You
