You need to be able to force the PCI parallel port to
"Legacy Mode". This is often easier said than done.
I managed it with a parallel card based on a chipset
from Oxford Semiconductor. I did not get anywhare
with the supplied drivers, but I found DOS based software
on the Oxford Semiconductor site, with which I could force
the chipset to be mapped to the "Legacy ports". Windows
then picked up the card as a legacy port, and I could
use it for wigglers etc. I suspect if you can find cards
that officially support DOS, it would work.
