Hello vleeuwen
Thank you for your interest. I have tested the VMware Workstation Player 6.0.2 only in win10/64bit. I could not find any LPT-restriction you are talking about. In my article in ft:pedia 4/2018 i describe exactly what i did. Originaly i was interested in using non-graphik languages as Terrapin-Logo or Java. I was surprised about the rather fast movement of the Fischertechnik-stepper-motors. I integrated some stepper-commands in my ui-driver umfishcount.dll (originaly described for an basic-programm - but i developed my driver with delphi 7). For helping Spitti i installed LLwin 3.0 and found no problems - except when using both analog-inputs at the same time. Likely LLwin is not quick enough for controlling the stepper-motors. Using VMware Player, win98, 2 of the old universal interfaces and Logo or Java seems for me a good idea for controlling the old Fischertechnik plotter. I wrote a Logo-programm for drawing graphs of any functions and for drawing scaled numbers.
With best regards
