[CW] extra lpt ports

[zs6dx]

Hi John,

It sounds like you have an IRQ clash with a disk controller or even a screen
controller, make sure the LPT card is not using something like IRQ 5 or 10
(or 11 ?).

You might have to go into the PC's BIOS and force it to use a different IRQ
as IRQ's are assigned at bootup time for most PCI cards.

Have fun and good luck !
