Thanks in advance. >dave Lawson I believe that OS/2, unlike DOS, runs the parallel (and serial) port interrupt driven. If the port does not have an interrupt line connected, then it will probably work with DOS and not OS/2. Now, it really should, because the IBM PC, which it should be compatible with, does. Then again, it may be jumper selected.
