I have been checking out an Intel D525MW motherboard for use with EMC, with good results so far. The on-mobo parport works fine in EPP mode with my UPC board. I also got a SIIG PCI parallel port card to see how well that will work in EPP mode. This does not work. /proc/ioports shows it at 0x1020, but it doesn't seem to communicate and I am guessing it is not in EPP mode. I tried my trusty pcisetup program that writes 0x80 to the io port 0x402 above the parport data address, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
This SIIG board just came from a web computer store today, and the board is marked V6.0, the chip is marked SIIG CyberPro. It is a full-height PCI card (not PCIe). I have used a much older SIIG dual parport PCI in another system, it has to be configured to EPP mode by a Win 95 program, but works fine in that system in EPP mode. So, has anybody used the new SIIG parport cards and know any tricks to set them to EPP mode?
