OS/2 and parallel port

Post by Thierry »

Hi all

i have a very old machine and i need a parallel port and a serial port.

For the serial port it's ok, but for the parallel port i find nothing:(

It is possible to have a parallele port on virtualbox ?

Thx for your help

Gratz

Enabling and Configuring Parallel (LPTx) Ports.

OS/2 probably predates "plug and play", so after adding the LPT1 port I expect you'll have to tell OS/2 to look for new hardware.
