I bought some parport cards from Amazon and eBay a while ago to do
something of a survey along these lines.
One turned out to be a SCSI card :-)
One turned out to need a driver download every restart (without which
it had an uncommitted generic IO chip. Which might potentially be a
really useful thing with a dedicated LinuxCNC driver
One turned out to be fine for P-port use but not support EPP.
And one (OxSemi chip) worked fine in all regards.

I will try to run through them again and get the data you are wanting.

What sets the base address of a card? Is it the card or the PC / BIOS?
