I'm not sure what the rest of the messages are. Do you have a high message level set in your INI file? If so, these messages are telling you that the additional possible addresses on the EPP port don't have any board connected. I'm pretty sure these are caused by the message level, and they should not show up at the normal (00001) message level. > The univdiags run fine.

That applies to EMC2, only, not my diagnostic program. If your high address range is 400 above the base register of the par port, then my pcisetup program should set the port to EPP mode by just entering the base address. If the difference between these ranges is different, then you have to calculate the magic number in Hex to supply to pcisetup to make it tweak the ECR register at the right location. > I assume the "mode 4" error indicates an EPP problem, but the SIIG > extended control register shows it set for EPP.

The D510MO does it, and the D525MW is the same.
