Whoops.. Yup it was.

How does one find the LPT's IRQ usage under FreeBSD?? Someone please. (Geuss I should of looked at mine before asking. :( ) What are your cards physically set at as far as irq's?? I'll *assume* lpt0=7,lpt1=5, But what about lpt2?? -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg... Where minds meet (207) 929-3848
