I would first look in the bios for likely suspects, but I expect you

I definitely don't want to get involved in BIOS updates on
somebody else's computer, but you may well be right!
Anyway, instead of the PCIe card, I tried a VERY old PCI
card, and it works perfectly. So, it looks like some crazy
interaction between the BIOS and the NetMos 9900 chip on the
PCIe parport card.
I did try turning off some options in the BIOS, and managed
to completely turn off the PCI slots, but that was about the
only effect I was able to have. This is the first time I've
seen something this crazy. I can't imagine what function
would be pinging the parport every 33 ms, unless it just
didn't configure properly at all.
