Re: EMC Parallel port config, please help

Hey,
I understand what you are saying, but I can't believe it. The EMC
is very configurable and customizable. I can't believe it doensn't
let you reconfigure the pinout of the parallel port. I know about the
different IO schemes like bridgeportio and minimillio etc... but they
all seem to be setup basically the same. There has got to be a way, but
all the documentation I've read says nothing about it.
