Suggestion for a PCI EPP card for 7i43 was created by juliankoenig87
Hi.

I do have a 7i43 laying around and want to use it with a thinkcenter p90 (good latency) without a parallel port.

So is there a good choice for a current pci to epp card?
The suggested ones are hard to get nowadays.

Best regards
Julian

Hi,

I use the SUNIX brand. I see them on ebay etc... They have a variety of PCI variants, and single & dual ports.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Pedro

Ok, does the P90 have a PCI slot, the long white one?
P93 does not have PCI, hence my questions.

Ok. I missed the p, sorry.

It is a M90p and has PCIe 16x and PCI on board.

Yes, it has both, nice :)
I will do a post with the cards i have tested and working, stay tuned.
No idea if they will work with 7i43 though, but they should support EPP, will have to double check that.

That would be nice!
Pedro can you confirm that Sunixs cards are working with a 7i43?

Apparently i have a Sunix card, and it works out of the box, but i have no 7i43 to test with.
When i get to the shop i can try to get some info on what modes it supports and report back.

Check the Lenovo motherboard for a lot header. If there is one but the Lenovo header cable, that will enable the parallel port in the bios. Without going into too many details the cable shorts a pin on the MB enabling the parallel port.
Worked on the Lenovo tower I picked up by the side of the road.
