In my 386SX i have all interrupts used and want to install another printer
port. Im using the first as a controller for some other equiptment by
doing direct port writes. Does anyone know if by adding another, Can i still
print to a normal printer if i disable its interrupt line ? I had to disable
the first ones line by grinding the pin off the card. Does dos or any
applications actually use the printer interrupts ? Thanks.
