Unfortunately I looked through the mail archives and the SUN1888 chip has some
other problems (Sebastian could not get it to work) Dont know whether this is
due to cable problems or more Linux driver issues. I know the hardware can
work (just like the LAVA chip can work). Can you tell me the exact Oxford PP
card you have and I will get one and see if the hardware works?
My guess is thst the main problem with plug-in PCI cards is that
1. Netmos has 99% of the market (And they have busted EPP hardware)
2. The other cards were not tested in all modes by the writers of the Linux PP
driver
(This is not a problem for motherboard chipsets because the BIOS sets them up)
