Release Notes:
A.This documentation describes the installation of the Parallel-PCI/LP card on a Windows95/98/Me/2000/XP PC. Instructions and software for DOS,Windows 3.x, and Windows NT 4.0 may be found in the NT4.0 subdirectory of the Parallel-PCI/LP card Installation diskette. Instructions for Linux installation are available at www.lavalink.com.
B.Because the Parallel-PCI/LP card uses PCI (not ISA) I/O address ranges, it will never be seen by your BIOS at boot-up as a standard parallel port (occupying 0278h or 0378h) even if the address has been changed in Windows using the above procedure. This is normal, and does not indicate a fault in your Parallel-PCI/LP card.
C.The Parallel-PCI/LP card will not work at address 0278h or 0378h if it is installed in a PCI slot that is behind a PCI-to-PCI bridge. If you have trouble installing the Parallel-PCI/LP card, try seating it in a different slot.
D.In standard installations of Windows 2000/XP, the I/O address cannot be changed to a legacy address.
E.Some devices (like external CD writers) default to "word mode" (ie: 16-bit data transfer) for fastest performance. Such devices need to operate in "byte mode" (8-bit data transfer) to work with the Parallel-PCI/LP. Look in your device software for a "byte mode" setting, and enable it.
