Aaron,
I bought my 2 parallel port pci card from Newegg. It is uses a
netmos nm9815cv chip.
After physically plugging it into the computer, I ran "lspci -v" from
a terminal window to locate the port addresses. Thus far it was just
"plug and play".
The next step is to edit the ".hal" file. You need add the port
address to the hal_parport config statement and to add read and write
functions to the appropriate thread (since I am running steppers it
was the base-thread). Then you need to add the pin and signal
connections to do what ever provoked the need for a second port.

Hi
Can some one tell me what I need to do to install a second parallel
port apart from physically plugging it into the computer or will it
just 'plug and play'
Thanks for any help in this.
Aaron
