Lava Computer Parallel-PCI/LP Card - Manual (Page 7)

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.
