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!
