Re: Using a dos program that detects a signal on the parallel port

You might have to enable either direct I/O port access and/or IRQ passing in the dosemu.conf file by un-commenting and editing the setting:

$_ports = $_ports, " device /dev/lp0 range 0x378 0x37a"
$_irqpassing = "7"

You will need to run it with -s to give direct hardware access (with sudo for root privileges) in such a case.

I think the normal IRQ is 7 for the parallel port, and 5 for a 2nd parallel port (if fitted), though 5 is also used by the old sound card (if used/emulated).

Hi

I have searched the mailing list for an answer to this and either cand
find one or am missing something.

I have dosemu 1.4.0 on puppy linux 5 and can run the program SRM from here

http://www.cenobyte.nl/slotracemanager/hoofdframe.html

The problem is that the access to the parallel port is proving too hard
for me to work out.

I can get it so the SRM software can see the port but it doesn't see the
trigger of the sensor on the parallel port.

Any help would be appreciated.
