As it was pointed out earlier, D525MW boards had some issues, I myself tried with 3 different D525MW boards and did not get any of them to work with 7i43 card, although the onboard parport is supposed to work in EPP mode. Yes, You can add another parport in PCI-E slot and use another 7i43 card. Just take 2 things in mind: 1) You have to find such a card for PCI-E slot, I have no seen any; Ok, I found these: http://www.brainboxes.com/lpt-pci-express But their pricing does not seem enouraging... 2) and You have to check in real life that it really works in EPP mode. It has been discussed many times on this list that there is only one or two pci-to-parport cards out there that do actually work in EPP mode. All the others do so only in theory and docs, not in reality. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
