Hi,

I want to find out the base address of my LPT port under Windows NT.
So I used farpeekw to read the bios data area.
Technically it works, but it returns the wrong base address.
It returns 0x3BC but my LPT is 0x378. It also returns 3 LPT I/O base
addresses but I only have 1 LPT installed in my system.
Is this a problem with NT or with the bios itself ?


Any help appreciated, Lars
