- You are the 3rd person to told me so... :) I have just changed my
- program to be using the resources last night. It doesn't seem to solve
- the problem I had under 2.1. I only used the parallel.device to get
- exclusive access to the printer port (I only had 1.3 docs to work with
- at thetime I wrote the program. I am looking into the newer RKM files
- on the fish disks.) and afterwards I reinitialize the 8255 registers.
- Whatever happens to the port, the 4 or 5 chips I have consistantly works
- in 2.1 Unfortunately the other 15 or so doesn't. :(
-
- I guess I'll have to bring the machine back to the lab to find out what
- happens.
