I have been having trouble with my parallel port. I believe the
(integrated) legacy port on my PC was damaged by a balky hardware
module. (The hardware module is a application specific
programming/debug module that uses the parallel port in EPP mode.) We
were able to fix the hardware module but I am having trouble with the
parallel port. Software support for the application is non-existent
and at this point my best bet for getting running again is to try and
remap a PCI parallel port to a legacy address (0x378 or 0x278) that is
supported by the application.<br>
<br>
I have searched the net and browsed through the linux-parport archives
and haven't been able to find the answers I need. <br>
<br>
I purchased a StarTech single port PCI parallel card that uses
Moschip's Nm9805 chip. I used setpci() in the pci utilities to try to
remap the base address and modprobe() to set the parport_pc options but
am still missing something.<br>
<br>
Is it even possible to remap the PCI card to use the legacy io
addressing? Any hints on what I am doing wrong or where to look to
find the information I need?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mark<br>
