Hello!
I´m an experienced Mach3 and windows user but totaly new to Linux and Linuc CNC so please bear with me.
I have bought a GIGABYTE GA-E350N motherboard with integrated parallell port to use with a simple one axis application and have set is up without hardware to test linux cnc and see if it fits my application.
The problem is that I cant find the address of the port or even see that it exist using the lspci -v
I guess the standard address is 0x378 but I would like to know that its recognized before I continue with this board.
It is enabled in BIOS.

Motherboard parallel ports are seldom PCI devices so lspci wont find them

heres one possibility:
dmesg | grep parport
Last edit: 17 Jul 2014 19:28 by PCW. Reason: its parport on linux

Or cat /proc/ioports

When you say integrated, do you mean a violet DB25 connector on the back or a 26 pin header on the motherboard?

Especially if the latter, is there a BIOS option to enable the port?

It is meant to be possible to access parports by index (0, 1, 2, 3) etc.

Try 0 and see if dmesg claims to have found it?

Thanks for your answers, I will try the DMESG command.
Its a DB25 port on the back of the board and its enabled in bios.
