Startech PEX2PECP2 Parallel port card

did you disable the pci/pce slots the cards are plugged i in bios?


also try this:
tech specs found here say "Chipset ID ASIX - MCS9865". According to this post , it should "work fine".

A few days back i did test a StarTech PCI to parallel port card that did not work at all with Linux, the board is plain and void of any parts besides a small chip.
Used a NetMos card that always works.
The StarTech is recognized only as a PCI card under Linux, did not test any further.

Nice !
I had a PCI one, not PCI-e, with a very small chip on it and nothing more, not even a resistor.
These on your link have some more electronic on them and a much bigger chip.
Never bothered to look at the chip no.

I bought a second computer, an Optiplex 760, the PEX2PECP2 works OK.

In the first computer, a refurbished Optiplex 3010, it does not.

Maybe a bad motherboard.

More likely a dirty slot.
