PCI and PCI-E add on cards with parallel port that work out of the box

So you have 2 parallel ports
A legacy on board port at 0x378 and your PCIe on at 0xccc8.

Nice to get responses and not have argue with a user. Thank you very much.

However this one here will probably work if I add the missing connector, capacitors and resistors.

PCI ID describes it as 1 parallel port + 2 serial ports (1P2S). 

It shows as a parallel port in dmesg and ioports and when I read the registers they are not empty (and numbers kind of make sense)

Sorry guys no pics but some info for 2 ,1 PCI & 1 PCIe (lscpi indentifies which is which) parallel from various resources on the machine. Will try later when got time to remove cards.

Do they show driver and module in use?
I would guess at yes... as the flags are only "medium devsel"

No, neither of them. The last picture in each post is everything coming out of sudo lspci -v

It seems it has something to do with Sunix chipsets.

The asm1083 is a PCIe to PCI bridge. The other chip would be the chip with the parallel etc functions.
Photos are ok, but the real bit of important info is the PCI ID number.

If you look at the text file I attached a couple of posts ago as well as having info regarding the parallel port cards it also has a couple of commands as where to get the info from the file system. Like what mode the card supports and stuff like that.

OK, thank you, i am a bit fuzzy today on everything due to lack of sleep and some other "issues".

Don't worry!

Btw, my 4 yo daughter just loves your profile picture xD
