the easier way to boot up in DOS is to use the START-SHUTDOWN-RESTART MSDOS
string. This will give you the closest to Dos and then you should see the
printer output. My systen with Desknc works fine. If you want to run under
windows, make sure your Pninter setup is set to Capture DOS on the LPT1
(probably) port. If your still having trouble, please call at 214-375-9848
and I'll see if we can talk you through this.

mention...
Thanks, I tried holding the control key when starting the machine.
This brings me to the boot menu where I can choose safe mode, dos
prompt only, etc. I bypass all windows drivers here and still no
parallel port. The dos sofware runs normally, but no pulses at the
port. Very strange. The help line guy at Toshiba suggested I do a
google search : )so no help there.

Here is something you may want to try.
Look for a File named MSDOS.SYS on the root
of your bootdrive it is a hidden file so you have
to enable show hidden files in explorer.
Change the properties of this file by removing the
readonly checkmark.
Then edit the file in notepad, look for a line that
reads BootGUI=1 , change this to BootGUI=0 then save
the file.
Now change all attributes back to the way they where before.
The result will be when you reboot the computer it will
stop at the >C:\ prompt without loading Windows.
This allows you to run your programs in a true dos environment.
when your done just enter win to load windows as usual.
Good Luck.

Hi, I am having trouble running my cnc control software in dos.
I have
a 1Ghz Toshiba Sat Pro laptop running Win98. I can run kellycam
and
master5 in windows but step rates are too slow. When I exit
windows to
"dos" or win 98's version of it, the software does not see the
parallel port.
Anyone seen this before?
The software I am trying in dos is deskncdos and cncpro. Neither
can
see the parallel port. Tried setting the port to standard bi
directional in the bios with no effect.
Thanks
Dean
