20x2 via Parallel

Post by Scott »

Hi,
I've just got my whole LCD sorted (2x20). However, my motherboard doesn't have a DB25 connector (parallel) on the motherboard so i bought i PCI addin card. I got everything all connected, installed Port95NT and LCDSmartie 5.4. I set the port of the PCI card's DB25 connector to LPT1 in Device Manager and LCDSmartie. I restarted to computer. But all i've got on the LCD is blocks along the top line and nothing on the bottom line.

The PCI card is a NetMos NM9835CV. Anyone help me out as i really wanna add the final touch to my mod.

Cheers,
Scott.

EDIT: Got it working, i needed to set the port to $A400 instead of just A400.
