That's exactly what I mean: we don't want to have to research how to
1. disable the printer driver,
2. pass the IRQ to DOSEMU,
3. pass the I/O address in fast mode (no tracing).
Nor do you want to read the instruction manual for your ball-pen
before you use it to scribble down a number.
BTW can you list the detailed instructions eg. files to edit to
acheive your above 3 steps ?
DOSEMU is over 10 years old and it's still in a state of chaos;
I'm on the mailing list.
