I'm having problems in running portalk.sys on win7 32bit...
when I test porttalk I get this error
'Unknown Error While Starting Service. Service was NOT Started'
and Megabuild doesn't get the parallel port...
(UAC is disabled)
Any suggestion?
🙁

I solved with some coding, porting InpOut32 64bit driver to the dosbox megabuild, substituting porttalk to access lpt under 64bit systems.
thanks to the help I got in the forum 😀
