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

8.42.0.1 Marchine Level Access Summary 

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..  

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?

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

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.

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

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