[WriteLog] WL LPT Range

[Mike]

Hello,

Will WL support a LPT with Resource Setting in the BCD0-BCD7?

The reason for the question is that I've been trying to get a PCI board 
with a parallel port in a new Dell (no LPT on the motherboard) running XP 
to be recognized by WL without crashing Direct I/O.  The same PCI board has 
a pair of serial ports (Com 5 and Com 6).

With Direct I/O setup to use the BCD0-BCD7 values and WL.ini with 
LPT1=BCD0xBCD7, Direct I/O crashes when WL is started.  The Windows error 
message is "Windows-Fatal application Exit  The resources requested are 
already claimed by another driver.  Direct I/O cannot be started."

Also, when WL is brought up another alert is displayed: "Writelog Comm port 
Com5: not available.  Insufficient system resources exist to complete the 
requested service."  Comm 5 has Resource Settings in the BCC8-BCCF range.

The LPT Ports settings are grayed out.

Michael Paule, Direct I/O, said Direct I/O should handle the BCD0-BCD7 
range, but WL may not be able to recognize LPT within that range.
