Hello all,
I have my 2nd parport installed via pcie card. Lcnc allows me to select 2 parports in stepconfig, but, I cant seem to test it?
Has anyone setup this?

hi
what version of Linuxcnc are you using

the stepconf wizard does support 2 parports

why are you using 2 parports

you may need to config the files by hand as you got more then 4 axis/joints

we need more infos on your system

Have you been able to identify the addresses used by your parallel port card?
