17.12.2 Device Settings
Shows the base I/O address and the interrupt used for access to the parallel port.
17.12.3 Change Settings
Species which base I/O addresses and which interrupts can be used by the BIOS
or operating system for the particular serial port.
Auto
The base I/O address and the interrupt are automatically
assigned.
IO=378h; IRQ=5;
The basic I/O address 2F8h and the Interrupt 3 are rmly
allocated.
IO=378h; IRQ=5,6,7,9,10,11,12;
The base I/O address is permanently assigned.
IO=278h; IRQ=5,6,7,9,10,11,12;
IO=3BCh; IRQ=5,6,7,9,10,11,12;
The values given in the list are available for the interrupt for automatic selection
by the BIOS or the operating system.
If conicts with other devices occur, this option should be converted to Auto.
17.12.4 Device Mode
Species whether the parallel port should be used as an input/output port or just as an output
port. The ECP and EPP transfer modes permit
higher transfer speeds of 2 or 2.4 Mbyte/sec.
These modes can however only be used on devices that also support these modes. In addition,
for EPP the I/O address of the parallel port must be set to 378 h or 278 h.
