1. possible wiki errors

On https://openeuphoria.org/docs/std_machine.html#_5565_safemodesummary i read:

8.42.0.1 Marchine Level Access Summary 
and
Your application will can be ready for D.E.P. enabled systems even if the system you test on doesn't have D.E.P..  
Are these errors?

While i have any one's attention, is there Win-XP/7 OE code to set the ECP/EPP modes of a parport and use it to read/write to external hardware? Is there example code? What about for the olde serial port? What about using new modern PCI-e buss cards for adding the parport or serial ports?

So i am to understand "Marchine" is NOT an error, but is a word? What does it mean?

I don't think so. I'm sure that's a typo.

I wonder why the people in charge of it want it to be that way. Ditto

There may be bugs that are invisible until you port the program the're in to another platform.

I have not really read the document, but these (possible) errors jumped out at me and i ran away from it.

Agreed, these are all typos or typo-level errors.

Don't think that's the case. Rather, it's that a small team lacking dedicated proof-readers didn't go over the docs this closely before release, and the errors were not caught until now.

Now that it's been pointed out, I'm sure Greg will be in to fix this at some point.

And who could blame you?

Not aware of any off the top of my head. (And considering the EOL status, if it doesn't already exist, I'd not recommend holding one's breath waiting for it.)

One would hope it's enough to just set the appropriate mode in the BIOS (as per https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/buu08011 ) and then access LPT1 or similar.

What about for the olde serial port?

Again not aware of any, again hoping that COM1 or similar would just work.

What about using new modern PCI-e buss cards for adding the parport or serial ports?

Kat

In my experience that works just fine - once added, it should show up as a new LPT/COM port. Nothing special is required.
