Hi guys,
I have also got it working using this method. I just changed the
DEVICE_LPT3 base address to the pci parallel port base address, and then
compiled as usual, which is not really a workable patch however conformation
that it works.
The PCI card was also a multi IO card.
Thanks David

Subject: [avrdude-dev] PCI parallel ports with Windows
Hello,
I know there were already a short dicussion about this topic in 2003 (*Re:
[*avrdude*-dev] Blank skipping, multi-byte writes, notes *on* parallel
ports
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2003-04/msg00077.html>*,
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2003-04/msg00078.html), but
may be it helps to get it done now by a description how to get the
necessary address information for the ports.
First you need to know the address of the port on your PCI card.
I used for this the SIV (System Information Viewer,
http://www.rh-software.com/)
The necessary sequence is shown in the following images.

At the third screen you have the address you need.
After this, I tested it changing the entries from file ppiwin.c ("lpt3" =>
"pci" and 0x3BC => 0xBC00).
(Actually I just used a hex editor on the executable, as I don't have the
sources and compiler installed ;-)
As you can see on the image
(http://robot.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~liebschr/avrdude/result.PNG) this
works perfect.
If some other people could try this procedure, and find if it works for
them too, then it could be included in a next release of avrdude?
I have no complete patch for it, but using "strtoul" as already proposed
would be the way to parse something like "pci_0xBC00" or similar.
Kind regards
Rene Liebscher
