Subjekt : RS232C and LPT >especially to the develloppers
for Dosbox

Hello 😳)

I tryed to register
as "Helpfull Hint" but somehow it didnt
work.

However I Only wantet to say, that
the Emulator is a Great work 😀
So a Lot of Thanks to the genius People
who createt it 😳)

And finally I wntet to submit som
Suggestions 😳)

Im Not a Programmer myself, and so I Dont
Know if it is hard to realize or not,
but it would be really very nice, if Dosbox would be able
to Emulate the seriell an parallel Ports of the Computer,
so called RS232C and LPT.

This would be really Helpfull, and eaven really nice 😳)

I really dont know if it is hard work to
realize this, and so I
leave
with the best wisches and
thanks in advance

Yours ,
Helpfull Hint 😳)

(I Hope this thing with posting now finally
works, I dont want to disturb in any kind, thanks )

What kind of support specifically are you looking at? Mapping the serial/parallel ports to the actual serial/parallel ports of the computer, or for some kind of mysterious virtual device?

I myself would like to see basic LPT support to print text documents to file or to route to the OS's print system, but first things first, I suppose.

Yes, it’s my fault.

printing to a file is doable...
i've been thinking about that.
(would only support text..)

more complex stuff isn't on the agenda.
