parallel port drivers

kernel driver?
I unziped drivers for the parallel port
But I don' know what to do with them

Can you measure the direction lines to see if they change when jogging in either direction?

I think I did that . And i made the change to 5000

You dont need them. Linux already has a driver.

Do the direction lines change state when jogging in different directions?

It's not moving!
I've hit a brick between the software and the hardware

Again, do the direction lines change when you jog in different directions?

on the software yes

But do they change in the hardware? (voltmeter or even a LED would work to check)
Another option is to try the other address (0xd013)

I changed that in HAL, ran my config, Got warning "Linux parallel port @ 53267 not found"

I appreciate all the help, thank you.
I'm going t start a new thread with more detail.
