[Dx4win] PCI-type LPT ports for CW keying?

[Paul B. Peters, VE7AVV]

My thanks to Larry and Mel for responding to my query. I neglected to
mention that I was using Win'98 (SE). The new Lava PCI parallel port
card is the SPP or standard parallel port version and not the EPP or
enhanced parallel port version. That having been said, I found the card
addressing is non-standard (as seen in Device Manager) when compared to
other PCI or LPT ports. When I used the PCI addressing fix from the
www.LavaLink.com website, I was not able to correct the problem. 

What I'm trying to accomplish is getting the additional port to either
host my keyer interface or my Zip Drive for backing up my log. Neither
will operate properly when attached to the new Lava PCI card. When
attached to the other two LPT ports, both work just fine. After spending
more time on the problem today, I've determined the issue my very well
be the version of BIOS on this old clunker of a computer; it's a P233Mhz
machine. Technology has a way of catching up with you when the machine
is a real time piece when compared to the robust GHz + boxes of today.
For the time being, I'll continue to fool with the problem and post an
update if I make it work. I may very well opt to replace the machine.
