Ok so I found out some ways to look at some system info....and i also got an email letting me know that the card has to be used with IRQ5.

I look up various info and nothing is listed for irq...

well its not IBMs baby anymore....they stopped supporting it a while ago.

granted im sure someone there knows what to do, it seems I have found all the relevent information ill need to do this....

Its hard to read but it reads from top to bottom:

Not used
Not used
Not used

AENOUT+

No, I have not.
though the TESTCFG.SYS device driver can perform the function i want...however from the last thing I posted that guy suggested it was no good.



though this page says it works...

well that just sucks. :(

what can I do now? This is just a simple timer/counter that i would like to respond to the software commands so its automatic.


having it respond to i/o of the port...

anyone else?

i havent made any progress and this is taking to long :(

Ive got a port sniffer that im gonna run this aft....but nothign for code yet

i found the location that lists everything but I couldnt find anything named for that port. :/

I just got some information in an email



As for permission im assuming it should be ok. Its os2...

Ok, so I figured out where to find the address in os2...but nothing was specifically listed for the port I am looking at. I emailed the company to ask if there is any info they could share with me. ...

this is driving me nuts.
I cant find info on port communication in os2.

it has to be somewhere

I dont think that app will work with os2. argg, stupid os2.

lol yes,...

Ok, just checked again.

its NOT a serial cable...

it is a 15 pin connector/ribben cable.(same look as a serial just a bit bigger) Should work the same as a serial though. just more pins, right?...

Good stuff. Sorry i wasnt clear on some things.


The "start" command for the machine is in the software on the pc. when an error occurs the machine automacitally stops.
then you must click...

I want the small c program counter/timer to respond to the output commands of the machine software.

If you click "start" the little program will start to count time
if an error occurs, for it to...

Hey there,
Ive got a C program here that works via user inputs on the keyboard and logs time of a machine.
