ParrelPort Access Durning Start-Up
-
I have been using the parallel port to switch a few relays. I use PortTalk to acces the parallel under Windows 2000 (and XP later - still TBD). However during WIndows 2000 startup the lines chatter, i.e. some sort of self test (or access) taking place? Once the PC is up and running they are no problems using the parallel port. My question is are they any way to stop the lines of the parallel port being accessed during startup? Many thanks,

No, there isn't. You're seeing the ports being reset to known states/values when the system starts. There's nothing you can do to prevent this on the PC side. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
