Heres some tests I did a year or so ago: PCI ADD-IN: OXSEMI PCI952 Long test >3x10^10 EPP ops error free MOSCHIP 9805 Does not implement EPP correctly, no hope This seems to be true of all 98XX cards SUNIX 1888 long test >3X10^10 EPP ops error free will not work with 12' cable ok with 5' suggest <2 feet and rev C 7I43 LAVA MOKO S1 long test >3x10^10 EPP ops error free (fastest card!) Note Sebastian did not get ths to work with the driver most likely a Linux Paraport setup bug with LAVA chip since the hardware works fine ITE 8875 Trying to figure out how to enable (comes up with all ports disabled) PCIE ADD-IN MOSCHIP 9901 Waiting for card Testing done with: 12 foot IDC flat cable, December 2008 firmware, Rev C 7I43 hardware except Sunix card (wont config or loopback test with 12 foot cable) Rev C hardware is: 1. Rev B 7I43 with 4 SMT capacitors soldered on back near parallel header 2. Rev C 7I43 Note: I do not suggest using a 12 foot cable, but wanted a worst case cable for testing. I suggest the Sunix cards be used with a short cable (2 foot or so) as they have limited control signal drive > > > > > > >> Maximilian H wrote: >>> I am trying to get this combination of a mesa 7i43 and an oxford >>> semiconductor ox12pci840 chipset pci parallel card to run, but I cannot >>> get it to run in epp_wide mode and I cannot get a servo thread to run >>> with a cycle time of less than 10 millisecs.
