The only valid port is at 0x0378 (with 0x0778 as the extended register space) as shown above. The last ECR line should read 149 (decimal) or some other value that has binary 100 as the top three bits. > ~~~~~ > Base @ 0x37a > Extended @ 0x77a > DPR: 255 > DSR: 255 > DCR: 255 > EPPA: 255 > EPPD: 255 > > CFA: 255 > CFB: 255 > ECR: 255 > ~~~~~ > Setting mode to EPP > ECR: 255 > ~~~~~ > waterjet@waterjet:~$ > > > Please note that for 0378 there is a change in number: > Setting mode to EPP > ECR: 255 > > And even now dmesg shows: > [ 8.878612] parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP] > > > > Could it really be true that purchasing EPP-capable PCI add-in card > would be easier? > > Viesturs A PCI card might be easier, but you would need to find one of the very few cards that are known to work with FPGA cards. You might try your setup on a more conventional ATX motherboard just to validate the non-PC hardware. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
