Hi all,
Firstly, many thanks to those who create and develop DOSBOX.

I'm posting regarding LPT1 support.

I've read as all related threads that I can find and wonder if someone can give me an up to date answer to my question or redirect me if possible.

Does anyone know of a CSV - or plans for the main DOSBOX - that supports LPT1 in terms of recognising a key dongle?

I know this is only likely if it's required for a game, but if it's something that can be implemented by someone who knows how, that'd be brilliant and judging from the posts, I'm sure others would benefit. I hope I'm not offending anyone by suggesting anything contrary to DOSBOX's gaming ethos.

Specifically, I'm running software called Access 2000 which controls a door access fob system. I've put Dosbox onto Win2k and on installing the .exe, it won't proceed as it can't see the attached dongle.

Any re-drirection or help would be gratefully received. Please PM me if preferred.

Cheers!

I would imagine supporting it wouldn't be too hard, but at the same time, it's probably a very low priority.

Most of people use Windows, so this would be more than enough...

Superb, looking forward to trying it out. Will follow instructions on your page. I'm hoping to run it using Win2k. Thanks for your time doing this. It is really very much appreciated.
