Ports (COM & LPT)
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The *Ports (COM & LPT)* page contains settings related to the emulated machine's I/O ports.
|
|
|
|
LPT1-3 Device
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Emulated device to connect to the given parallel (LPT) port.
|
|
|
|
* **None:** no device connected.
|
|
* **Disney Sound Source:** sound device with a resistor ladder DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and FIFO, supported by many games.
|
|
* **LPT DAC / Covox Speech Thing:** sound device with a simple resistor ladder DAC, supported by many games (through compatibility with the *Disney Sound Source* above), demos and trackers.
|
|
* **Stereo LPT DAC:** stereo version of the LPT DAC, using the *Strobe* pin to select the active output channel.
|
|
* **Generic Text Printer:** simple printer capable of outputting text only.
|
|
|
|
* Printed documents are saved as .txt files in the ``printer`` directory.
|
|
|
|
* **Generic ESC/P Dot-Matrix:** EPSON ESC/P-compatible printer.
|
|
|
|
* Printed pages are saved as .png files in the ``printer`` directory.
|
|
* Use the **EPSON LQ-2500** printer driver for best results.
|
|
* This printer will not work if the included ``freetype.dll`` file is missing from the 86Box directory.
|
|
|
|
* **Generic PostScript Printer:** PostScript-compatible printer with PDF output.
|
|
|
|
* Printed documents are saved as .pdf files in the ``printer`` directory.
|
|
* Alternatively, printed documents are saved as .ps files if the PDF conversion process fails, or if the included ``gsdll32.dll`` file is missing from the 86Box directory.
|
|
* Use the generic PostScript printer driver provided by your operating system.
|
|
* Windows 95 and newer do not have a generic PostScript driver; use the **Apple LaserWriter IIf** or **IIg** driver instead.
