Hello Peter, I got a 2 port SUN1888 pci parallel port today - only card I could find in town without a moschip chipset.
I haven't tried to use the 2nd port, but the first one gives me a nice 2msecs servo cycle time with an 7i43. With one msec I get bitten from the watchdog, but two msecs seems fine. I used a 50cm long cable.
