I imagine it would work if I could just flip the right bits. I just installed my new Siig card and I am not having much better luck so far. Launching LinuxCNC did not switch it to EPP mode. I looked and the only DOS "driver" it came with is "OXSER". I don't see any mode options - but it has "burning" mode. The read-me is attached below. Here is what lspci reveals: 08:00.0 Parallel controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OX9162 Mode 0 (parallel port) (prog-if 03) Subsystem: Siig Inc Device 2020 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 18 I/O ports at c030 [size=8] I/O ports at c020 [size=4] I/O ports at c000 [size=32] Memory at fb100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: parport_pc Kernel modules: parport_pc I have tried your or Kirk Wallace's utilities yet because I want to make sure I know what I am doing before I break something. Any suggestions? Usage: OXSER [IO=] [INT=] [TEST=] [BURN=] [TX=] [TIME=] Option: IO : set the start address of Oxford UART port Note: This address maybe ISA or PCI IO . ex: IO=3F8 (hex) INT : set the interrupt of Oxford UART port. ex: INT=A (hex) TEST: Set UART port to test mode(default: 9600 , 8N1) ex: TEST=1 BURN: Burning mode for all UART ports. ex: BURN=1 (0: disable, 1:enable) TX : Set the burning data length. (Kilobyte) TIME: Set the burning time.(minute) Example: OXSER --> Set port1 and port2 to COM3 and COM4, respectively. OXSER IO=3E8 --> Set port1=3E0(COM4), port2=3E8(*COM3), port3=3F0, port4=3F8(*COM1) OXSER IO=2E8 INT=A --> Set port1=2E0(COM3), port2=2E8(*COM4), port3=2F0, port4=2F8(*COM2) and IRQ=A OXSER TEST=1 --> Set port1 to test mode which listen from serial and keyboard. Dump the data from serial and send out the data from keyboard. Note: Default setting is 9600bps , 8N1 OXSER BURN=1 --> Please loopback all ports before start this mode. OXSER BURN=1 TX=10 --> Burning willn't be terminated until the length of tx data is over 10KB. OXSER BURN=1 TIME=10 --> Burning will be run for 10 minutes.
