Ok, got it! I did not imagine that the idea is to attach Pluto card to 5i25, because I also think that it just does not make sense, because 5i25 has FPGA and it can do all the same stuff (and maybe even a lot more) as Pluto card. AFAIK, pci-to-lpt add-in cards that actually do work in EPP mode are almost non-existent. If I remember correctly from previous discussions on this list, there is one or two models out there that actually do work, all the remaining ones that claim to have support, do not work in real world, so I really recommend doing some research on this topic.
