The card sets itself up, but with an address of 0xec00, more or less as 
expected for a PCI card. Conventionally, motherboard based parallel ports are 
at something like 0x378 or 0x3BC. No need to worry. Normal software functions 
used to retrieve the port location will read this correctly. I know this, 
because I've been testing some software that has to do this.
