Correct? You're not going to physically `harm' anything, but you're also not going to be using lpt1 (LPT2) unless you fix the address conflict. The good side to this is that you are probably going to learn about the kernel configuration file and how to rebuild the FreeBSD kernel. Take a look at ``Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel'' section of the ``FreeBSD Handbook'' at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr.
