pci parallel port problem

[Geomagick]

I have recently purchased an additional parallel port which runs off the PCI bus, the driver goes in without a problem but unfortunately all I get is two pci parallel ports which are unusable, how do I map additional LPT assignments to these ports so that I can use a printer on one of them.

I currently run Win98.

Cheers.

is the card sharing its irq with another device??

 

[Geomagick]

yes but it doesn't cause any conflicts in the system properties, it just reports it as two 'functioning correctly' pci parallel ports

There are only two standard I/O addresses for parallel ports, 278 and 378. You may need to go into the system properties and force those addresses. Standard IRQs are 5 and 7, although those are a lot more flexible. You may also be able to get away with I/O address 3BC, however, that one does not support all of the IEEE 1284 modes.

What brand PCI card are you using?

 

[Geomagick]

the pci card is branded mri



mri

The model is the MRI-PCIPP2, the second one down.
