hi All
I have a DOS application that must have a dongle plugged into the printer port before it will run. Is this going to be workable in Dosbox?

Or maybe not. Isn't there a version of DOSBox floating around with direct pass-thru to the parallel-port?

just use porttalk drivers from:
http://www.beyondlogic.org/porttalk/porttalk.htm
run "allowio.exe dosbox.exe /a" with porttalk.sys copied to \windows\system32\drivers.
worked perfectly with my dongle based program (puls).

If that made a difference then it was not the official DOSBox though...
