    Need help getting parport to work, works fine under linux.

    Hello,
    My parallel port card works fine under linux, but I wanted to try out Mach3, so I booted into windows, and parport shows up in device manager fine, but I can't get any inputs/outputs to show up on diagnostics page. Any ideas? The base address I use in linuxcnc is 0xDCA0, and this is what also shows in device manager. The card is a Syba SY-PCI10002 with Netmos 9865 Chipset.
    Thanks,
    CP

    Never mind, found out the port numbers start at 1, even though the default is 0.
