Linux parallel port @1911 not found

challange to find my driver board
Used a pice PEX1P board with a mach3 interface board
with lspi -vv i find:

Have put : loadrt hal_parport cfg="0x378" into my hal file , but don't get a respond from an in ore output

You would need to have
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xe000" or
or
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xe010"

instead of
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0x378"

in your hal file

Thank you! I'll be back up there in the afternoon to give that a shot Can you explain why I would use those addresses and not 0x378?

Because they are the addresses being reported by lspci. Address 0x378 doesn't exist for that card.

0x378 is the traditional on-motherboard parallel port address. PCI cards are enumerated by an algorithm that has an available address space and maps all the PCI devices before making decisions on what address to put them at.
The address space starts at 0x1000, I think, but almost all systems seem to map PCI devices above 0xa000.

The 0x378 address is the address normally used for a motherboard's built in parallel port. It would never be used for the address of an add in PCI card. (Even if the motherboard does not have a built in parallel port.)

(edit: Jon beat me to it.)
