If only I knew!

Does it make a difference whether you load (or not load) the parport
module (or disable parport support in the kernel) before using dosemu?

Some EPP/ECP are programmable, and I once had the problem that the
parport detection code disabled EPP mode.

There are also some ECP control registers located at base + 0x400, i.e.

0x778
0x779
0x77a

Maybe the program tries to use them?
