Parallel Port

[Hank Jedema]

I had to install E-Prime 2.0.8.90 on some newer PCs (Dell Optiplex 390) 
which lack a integrated parallel port. I do need the parallel port to send 
signals to external equipment (just output, no input needed), so I 
installed a parallel port adapter card (StarTech PEX1PLP) in the PCIe slot, 
which seems to configure properly under W7: It is listed as LPT1 in the 
device manager, shows 2 lines on resources tab: I/O range 4010-4017 and I/O 
range 4000-4003, and is "working properly" according to W7. 
Normally, I address the parallel port in E-Prime with an inline "writeport 
&H378, value" but hat does not seem to work (measured with voltmeter at the 
parallel port connector pins 2-5). At this point, I am wondering whether I 
have to address the port on the adapter card in a different manner than the 
traditional, integrated parallel ports.  I looked through the parallel port 
info on the E-prime site and posted a question with their support but have 
not heard back yet. Does anyone have experience addressing parallel ports 
on adapter cards with E-prime ?

Thanks very much for your help,
