As you are not sure what port it might be using and just assuming that it uses 378h is certainly wrong, have you checked with what value is in the BIOS data segment at 0040h:0008h? That should tell you what the (first) parallel ports actual base address supposed to be. Chances are, it might be for example 3BCh, as with PS/2 or Compaq computers >About the graphics.

Certainly nothing that FreeDOS has an influence on. Any character mapping features are video BIOS dependent, not DOS...

Re: [Freedos-user] D525MW
I believe you meant 0x378 instead of 3F8.. Then I think you have only two possible ways to find out what's going on: try addresses 0x378, 0x278, 0x3bc with every possible SPP/ECP/EPP parameters, until one of them makes your device blinking, or use a hardware detection program that would tell you what is the actual address of your port, like the quite excellent hwinfo - http://www.hwinfo.com/download.html good luck, Mateusz On Friday 18 May 2012 12:29:17 Radoslav Tchipanov wrote: > Hi Mateuz > The printer port has 4 settings : output only, bidirectional, ECP and EPP.

Re: [Freedos-user] D525MW
Hi Mateuz The printer port has 4 settings : output only, bidirectional, ECP and EPP. I have tried all four but nothing changes. I have suspicions that printer port address is not 3F8.

Re: [Freedos-user] D525MW
Hello, Have you looked into the port settings in your BIOS? The parallel port can work in different modes: ECP, EPP, SPP... AFAIK the most basic one is SPP, other are used to boost the possible speed for data transmission. ciao, Mateusz On Friday 18 May 2012 11:45:32 Radoslav Tchipanov wrote: > > Hi Ralf > This board D525MW has printer port - the board is in front of me.

Re: [Freedos-user] D525MW
Hi Ralf This board D525MW has printer port - the board is in front of me. We use our proprietary software which controls external I/O board trough printer port at address 378. Unfortunately the software could not communicate with the board on this motherboard, as it does on older computers.About the graphics. Our software is written in C and uses the video controller in graphics mode trough C graphic driver. Unfortunately only the zero digit is displayed properly. All other digits are not displayed on the screen.
