Try setting the IRQ to 5. IIRC, 0x278 (LPT2 in DOS) is on IRQ5. You may
also have to write this to /proc/parport/1/irq (note: proc not dev) rather
than /proc/parport/0/irq.
good Luck.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that
there must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one
on the other end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with
a silver-handled knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony
