- Well, I've found a workaround for the problem. My machine is a PS/2 95
- with a Boca par/ser card installed, so I changed my setup, swapping
- the LPT1: and LPT2: so that I now use the Boca card. This works!!!!
-
- I don't relly get this, since it after all is a PS/2. Timothy Sipples
- said I should make sure, that the LPT1: is IRQ7, but that's not an
- option with the build-in printerport - only the shared level (for DMA
- transfer) can be set. Well, nevertheless now it works and I really don't
- want to spend any more time fiddling with this...
