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. 73 de Paul, VE7AVV StoneyGround Station -|<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>|- "All email from this address is checked by Norton AntiVirus 2003"
