setting up for Parallel port Tutoral Part 3

Ok, now I go it !! Sounds like my objective is doable without much fuss at all.

or fit a pci printer port card is an option
so long as it thinks a printer port exists then it will work .
that goes for lcnc as well as pathpilot .

Which begs the question...
Smgvbest, does your computer have a lpt port listed in its bios screens? I realize there is no physical port.

You can run LCNC on a virtual machine in sim mode so PP should be the same. Going to confirm tomorrow by setting up 1.9.6 under VirtualBox on my Mac

you may have problems running in a virtual machine , due to the realtime that pathpilot uses
and to the increased Latency that it produces . this goes the same for lcnc , apart from the more recent uspace variant .

It does have one listed in the bios and it is disabled in the bios
But my config is not setup to use a parallel port nor a mesa card. I'm running the simulator mode of PP/LinuxCNC
