The latest NuCore update has a fix that I think will allow me to use the computer I've been trying to get working. I was able to get Pinbox running, but it won't see my parallel PCI card. Newest NuCore allows you to set parallel to a different address. Fresh NuCore install fails, I think because it's looking for files that have been moved or no longer exist. I've tried updating Pinbox with the NuCore update, but it didn't work. Maybe because things are in different directories? I've tried renaming files and directories, but just broke everything in the process. Any ideas? This is driving me insane!

I'm not an expert on this, but it sounds like there might be a driver issue with the parallel PCI card. Perhaps try a different parallel PCI and clean install? I had problems with on board sound on mine, so I added in a soundblaster card and it worked then after reinstalling.

Parallel PCI card are not the best option.I tried two or three before but no one worked.
Of course when I just put a PC with on board parallel port worked perfect.
PC was HP DC7800.

Mine had onboard parallel port and worked perfect as well.

I had a mini PC with a paralell port onboard in my MAME cocktail so I swapped it. Now I have 2 broken things in my game room. Ha!

Why two?
Is the problem same with the mini PC on board parallel port?
