Here's my old EPP test data. This was all on Hardy, maybe things are
better in Lucid.
* OXSEMI PCI952: works if you turn off wide mode in the hm2_7i43
driver ("loadrt hm2_7i43 epp_wide=0")
* SUNIX 1888: unreliable, seems sensitive to bad EPP cables
* LAVA MOKO S1: don't work (but can probably be made to work somehow)
* NetMos 98xx: don't work
This one will probably work (though it's pricy!):

It's really lame how parallel port cards with the NetMos 98xx chipset
are still advertised as supporting EPP... :-(
I'll try to take another look at the Lava boards soonish.
