Connecting a non-printer device
(e.g. external drive or parallel scanner)
to the SP-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 SP-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 SP-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 SP BIDIR
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).
