Thanks, Bob. Nice new call!
I've tried all seemingly reasonable combinations of settings in the
parallel port configuration dialog without success. I always check to
make sure the address settings in writelog.ini match those shown by
Device Manager and the configuration dialog. In all cases, writelog
grays out all three parallel ports. I tried ps2.exe although it seems
to do essentially the same things as the configuration dialog. No
change. I'm stumped.
Wayne, are you listening in on this thread? Any ideas?
