Hi Hal!!!
we have succeeded in porting the directlpt_win32.cpp in windows 7 64bit using InpOut32 from HighRez to direct access the dongle through parallel port (pci express moschip) 😁
we did compile the prj and dosbox worked fine!!!
(in dosbox.conf I added
parallel1=reallpt realbase:e800 ecpbase:e807
parallel2=reallpt realbase:ec00 ecpbase:ec07
to access the LPTs)
So now it is possible to direct access parallel port through dosbox megabuild for old dos programs also in windows 64bit os!!!
I attached the only source file changed in dosbox megabuild 6 visual c project that we have changed
The project only needs these two other files:
inpout32.dll, inpoutx64.sys from HighRez

😁
If you have time to go through the code and if you have time please feel free to make a new megabuild to deploy so to take advantage of that in windows 7 64bit PCs...
hoping that could help someone in maintaining the old sw in dos in new pcs ...
thank you again for the great job you have done with the megabuilds... 😀
