Parallel port inactive



Hello,  I have just set up EMC on a 486Dx33 with Redhat 5.2 and the
associated RTlinux patch.  I have also been able to get it to run using the
steppermod.o and minimillio.  The problem that I am having is that although
I can get it out of estop and jog the axis I cannot get any activity on the
parallel port.  I have an oscilloscope set up to read the port pins and they
just stay at +5V.  The port is set up at 0x378.  Any suggestions would be
helpful.

 I also wouldn't recommend this slow of a processor for more than getting
set up experience, it can just run xemc but is not even usable with tkemc
(well unless you can wait 30 sec for the mouse to move)
