how to use bidirectionnal parallel port?

[Jean-Charles de Longueville]

Hi,

I'm trying to use an old win31 app for controling some data acquisition
board. The board is connected to the PC trough the parallel port.

I can print from Linux on this port.

the parallel port is on 0x3f8 irq 7  

I add 

  [parallelports]
  "Lpt1" = "/dev/lp0"
  
  [ports] 
  "read" = "0x3f8"
  "write" = "0x3f8"

to ~/.wine/config

As specified in the manual I'm running one of the needed apps as root in
order to access to the port. But wine freeze reporting in the console

  err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection Critical Section 0x400f1c48 wait
timed out, retrying (60 sec) fs=0267

a couple of time before exiting. And with the other app, it is the app
itself who respond "printer error".

I'have tried to find a maximum of info, faq, comments,... for more than
a week to no extend ;-/

any clues?
