Hi Peyton,

On 04-12-95 16:55, you were caught whispering slyly to All .
You were saying "parallel port"

 PB> Can I reference the parallel port (both read and write) from a PM

 PB> Peyton

In Config.SYS, use the IOPL setting :

REM I/O Priv - allow apps to access hardware directly
IOPL=YES

REM I/O Priv for FxPrint fax driver :
IOPL=FxPrint


Regards,
Mike.
