I am still working on getting the second parallel port running.
I am trying to figure out what port address to plug in to the parport
config statement for a second parallel port. I have a netmos 2 port
card with a nms9815cv chip. The board manual doesn't list an example
for this particular chip (very nice!!!), however, searching the web
seems to indicate that the 9715 and 9815 are virtually identical in
port output. The manual says that to get the pci port addresses type
"/proc/pci" but Ubuntu reports no such directory.
From the Manual (note port addresses increase descending):
Board with Nm9715CV part
I/O at 0xc000 [0xc001] printer port 1
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401] ECP/EPP config registers 1
I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801] printer port 2
I/O at 0xd000 [0xd001] ECP/EPP config registers 2
I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401] not used
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801] not used
-------------------------------------------------------------------
When I typed "lspci -v" as suggested in the documentation for emc2 I
got the following (note port addresses decreasing):
0000:00:08.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9815
Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 2P0S (2 port parallel
adaptor)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
I/O ports at ec00 [size=8]
I/O ports at e400 [size=8]
I/O ports at e000 [size=8]
I/O ports at dc00 [size=8]
I/O ports at d800 [size=8]
I/O ports at d400 [size=16]
Since the ports are listed in reverse order from what is shown in the
manual, and the wiki, I don't know whether to use 0xec00 or 0xd400.
My first attempt was to plug the cable into one of the pci parallel
ports and to try and replace the 0x378 with the various addresses.
Help please.
