Re: parallel port address
How about the dinosaur approach?
Pull up an MSDOS prompt,
debug <return>
d40:0 <return>
q <return>
That dumps the memory where the port addresses are kept and exits debug.
The first half of the top line is the serial ports, the second half is the parallel ports.
Low byte first so BC 07 would be 07BCh
exit <return> Gets you out of it.

cheers m8 but still no joy :(
Re: parallel port address
Have you tried putting the "0x" beforehand, and just the first value - i.e. "0xDE00"?
I'm pretty sure you can't put a range of addresses in (and if it's got "0x" beforehand, then put "0x" in). Unfortunately, I don't use Mach3, so I can't say exactly what you need to do; I'm just going on your description.
Re: parallel port address
cheers tribbles i think thats proberly it, still no movement but thats proberly just down to me not realizing that i had to allocate the correct pins and all the other stuff i only vaguely undrestand....
Re: parallel port address
Have you watched the tutorial videos on the mach3 website. They explain in detail how to find the paralell port address and how to configure the motors.
Here they are http://www.machsupport.com/videos/
