second parport config was created by occesar_0
Hi
After I got my second parport adress and configure it on the stepconf wizard, what else do I have to do?
I mean, I know that I have to edit my .HAL File, but in such file, I don't know how to edit the parameters of my second parport and doesn't even appear exactly as the one parport. I'm a little confused maybe, I hope somebody could help me.

You might also want to read up a bit on hal in the integrators manual.

I wonder if we should add pages to stepconf for the extra parports?
At the time it seemed like a lot of work for something that really needed to be
configured in a custom hal file anyways.
but I would bet that it is confusing to to add a parport but only see one parport configure page.
hmmmm

Hi Chris,
I see the option to enter another parport address in Stepconf. It would be slick if somehow it could test or list available addresses... and yes a page for the second one if added would be nice. I seem to remember something about being able to just enter the parport number instead of the address from somewhere...

That would be very useful! despite of have to configure it anyway in the .hal file
