Yeap DLPortIO is installed (as that is what the programmer wants (even
under win 9.X)

Nope and no printers either (hmmm might go try and install a printer and
see if that helps ;o)

Some laptops have a "windows" parallel port.
partially emulated in software.
Costs a few cents less for ther manufacturer.
Could be a problem
Do you have a meter or even a led so
you can test the outputs from the parallel port ?
Will do that tomorrow.
Tried linux ?
zipslack is easy, can boot from inside windows.
Nope, if I was to try anything it would have to be PicoBSD ;o) (runs
from a floppy :o)
