Re: PCI parallel port card, but no BIOS for LPT
Refer to the documentation of "devc-par". In particular, the "-p" option might be helpful:
---
-p address
Base I/O address of the parallel port. The I/O port address may be specified in hexadecimal form (e.g. 0x140) or octal
form (e.g. 0140) as well as in decimal. Don't use this option with the -b option.
---
The last sentence, referring to the "-b" option, is interesting because the "-b" option is about BIOS information. I'd
say this means that "-p" is for "without BIOS", which is what you need.
