sudo cat /proc/ioports | grep parport returns only one set of addresses, (just to make sure)

What's the PCI ID of this card, that's the secret source.
 

9710:9805 - NetMos Technology - PCI 1 port parallel adapter

Thank you very much for the tip!

With regards to the second port, you'll have to check how the second parallel port is enabled, some chipsets use strapping or use a eeprom for the config.
If you aren't getting the address of the second parallel port come up adding the connector and resistors may not enable it.
Find the data sheet first and work out how to config the chip first before getting out the soldering iron.

You are right!

I tried to read the registers with the remaning adresses and it didn't work.  



I tried both Base/Extended ccd8/cce0 and cce0/cce8. Didn't work. They must be strapped, as you said.

 
 

 

I think i should do a summary of the Sunix PCI-E card as the info got scattered in pieces, so:
I had one, it works perfectly but:
In a Lenovo PC it show the warning when LinuxCNC starts, but it works fine
In another PC with Asus Prime Z270 board, it shows no warning and no ................................
IT JUST dawned on me:
It will show the warning on older kernels, it will not show on new-er kernels!!!
Lenovo has Mint 19.3, the Asus has Mint 21.3, the friend with the same model cards has LMDE 6
Ok just checked the original post and it is Debian 12 so most probably 6.1.nn kernel, should be the same as in LMDE 6, so there goes my joy, oh hell, back to more testing!
