onboard I/O chip.
Onboard Parallel Port
Disabled
There is a built-in parallel port on the
on-board Super I/O chipset that pro-
vides Standard, ECP, and EPP features.
It has the following options:
Disable
3BCH/IRQ7
Line Printer port 0
278H/IRQ5
Line Printer port 2
378H/IRQ5
Line Printer port 1
Parallel Port Mode
SPP : Standard Parallel Port
EPP : Enhanced Parallel Port
ECP : Extended Capability Port
To operate the onboard parallel port as
Standard Parallel Port only, choose
“SPP.” To operate the onboard parallel
port in the ECP and SPP modes simulta-
neously, choose “ECP/SPP.” By
choosing “ECP”, the onboard parallel
port will operate in ECP mode only.
Choosing “ECP/EPP” will allow the
onboard parallel port to support both
the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously.
The ECP mode has to use the DMA
channel, so choose the onboard parallel
port with the ECP feature. After select-
ing it, the following message will appear:
“ECP Mode Use DMA” At this time,
the user can choose between DMA
(3BCH/IRQ7)/
(278H/IRQ5)/
(378H/IRQ5)
SPP/(EPP/SPP)/
ECP(ECP/EPP)
