Parallel Port Mode

The options are SPP, EPP, ECP and ECP+EPP These apply to standard specifications and will depend on the type and speed of your device. Refer to your peripheral’s manual for the best option.

SPP

Allows normal speed operation but in one direction only

“ECP (Extended Capabilities Port)”

Allows parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode and at a speed faster than the normal mode’s data transfer rate.

“EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port)”

Allows bidirectional parallel port operation at maximum speed.

EPP Mode Select

This is used to select the EPP mode.

ECP Mode Use DMA

This is used to select the DMA channel used for the parallel port.

Game Port Address

This field is used to select the game port’s address. The options are 201, 209 and Disabled.

Midi Port Address

This field is used to select the MIDI port’s address. If you have selected the MIDI port’s address, you may select its IRQ in the “Midi Port IRQ” field.

Midi Port IRQ

This field is used to select the MIDI port’s IRQ.
