Can you attach the HAL and INI files?
What is your parallel port address?

Hi
Please find attached the files and this as follows is the address of the parports according to my terminal
jim@Debian:~$ sudo cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
[sudo] password for jim:
e010-e012 : parport0
e013-e017 : parport0
jim@Debian:~$ lspci -v
bash: lspci: command not found

In the HAL file, line 6 says:
I think that this needs either the address, or the index.
Code:
loadrt hal_parport cfg=" out"
I think that this needs either the address, or the index.
Code:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
or
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xe010 out"

Hi thanks for you help to date. I have tried different combinations and the ones you suggested and moved the card to a different slot. I have measured the voltage out of the bob and am not getting a feading at the pull - and direction - not sure if this is correct or not. I will try a different computer and cable next week to at least discount the computer or cable as the problem. I will let you know the outcome

Have you measured the voltage _in_ to the BoB?
(Note that you can probably only see the DIR pin with a mutlimeter, on either side)
