It has parallel port on address 0x378/0x778, IRQ 5 by default which is
realized by Super IO chip.

In PnP config also available for selection are addresses 0x278/0x678,
0x3bc/0x7bc, IRQ 7 and ISA DMA channels 1 and 3.

Although I have never used this port personally it looks like what can
be considered a "true" parallel port.
