Hi, how can i get in "contact" with my LPT port when running Dosbox? I'm trying to run a "DC motor interface program (very old)" and it's hardware is connected via the LPT port. The program runs fine, but there is no contact to the the hardware..
Please, if anyone could tell me if its possible to "mount" the LPT port and how.. Many thanks, Jasper DK

That's not implemented right now. IIRC no one is planning to implement it either.

I understand that the virtualization of the parallel port is a very important feature for many people. I will push on the back channels for someone to implement it.

Yes, it’s my fault.
