Pcmcia parallel card

I am trying to configure emc2 to work with that PCMCIA Card mentioned from the thread starter. I read that its important to switch on EPP so that it will work with that.

I replaced the io port to d020 when configuring emc2 with sherline pinout. I didnt get any connection yet. I didnt figure out yet if i have to put hand on my linux or on emc2.

I tried this but i get no reaction on the widget. Only when i Push on the Buttons the Signal went green as long as i push it. The Input Signals are green except one.

lspci -v give me this information

10:00.0 Parallel controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OX9162 Mode 0 (parallel port) (prog-if 03)
Subsystem: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device 0000
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22
I/O ports at 5020
I/O ports at 5028
I/O ports at 5000
Memory at a8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: parport_pc
Kernel modules: parport_pc

So i think the Paralell Port should be working. Did i miss something?

I am using 5020 as port adress. i allready tried all three adresses given me from lspci. Using 5028 let emc2 crash when starting.

You mean the HAL commando in my Config i created?

0x5020 i am using.

I corrected the port adress on the Port Tester. Now all Input pins 10-15 are green. Pushing another Pin with the mouse makes them green as long as i am pusing the mouse button.

How can i free the Card for emc2?

This is the error log on Port 0x5028

Starting the parport tester with that port it crashes with
