I believe the EEPROM programs the chip pin-out or rather tells the PCI chip what product it's on, and probably is not meant to be changed after the chip is soldered to a board. Also the datasheet seems to indicate that the chip follows the Microsoft interface spec.: http://www.fapo.com/files/ecp_reg.pdf So, parport_pc should be able to find the base and extended registers, if they exist. I think we really need to see what the make and model is for the board that the chip is mounted to, or read the PCI register that the EEPROM sends the mode data to, to see if the chip was intended to have a parallel port. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
