Hi,

I read on Vladimir's website that parallel ports are still untested. I
have tried to get those working, that is a bi-directional port. But when I
run the vm with it, it says:

'Device or resource busy. parallel0 will start disconnected'

No matter if I use my first or second parallel port (lpt0 is used by lpd,
lpt1 is used by my scanner, but only under w98 when I get VMware
running..)

I have linked to /dev/lpt0 and to /dev/ppi0 from /compat/linux/dev/ but
both refuse to work..
Does anyone know how to fix this?

BTW, I am not on this list, but I do keep track of
lists.openresources.com..

Any help will be appreciated!

Best regards,
Ewout Vonk
