Using version 8.0 Professional

How do I get the system to reconize the new port? At startup, scanning for new hardware pauses for a while, and it sees the additional serial ports (2) on the card, but not the parallel port, which is a IEEE 1284 EPP/ECP unit.

Any help is appreciated. works fine under W$98.

Maybe it's conflicting with the motherboard's lpt port address? Is there a jumper on your board to select the address? Check your lp port address in your bios, and change it to an alternate.

If it was conflicting, wouldn't there be problems under W$? Harry G

Hi Harry,

Have a look in /etc/modules.conf and you should see something like the following and add the appropiate details.

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc # options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=none,none # If you have multiple parallel ports, specify them this way: # options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=none,none

That is in there. Harry G
