Lava Computer 2SP-PCI Computer Hardware User Manual


 
Connecting a non-printer device
(e.g. external drive or parallel scanner)
to the 2SP-PCI's parallel port
In Windows 95/98/ME (not Windows 2000/XP) some parallel port
devices require parallel ports that use standard (legacy) ISA LPT
addresses (0278h or 0378h).Because the 2SP-PCI card is a fully
compliant PCI device,its default address (Input/Output Range) is
beyond the standard range of ISA I/O addresses.In order to connect
such a peripheral to the 2SP-PCI card,the I/O address range of the card
must therefore be changed manually.This section describes how this is
done.
1. Open Control Panel|System|Device Manager and find the Parallel-
PCI listing under Ports.Click Properties,and proceed to the
Resources tab.The following screen will appear (Note:the
Input/Output Range and Interrupt of your particular configuration
may differ from the one below).
