Mapping Multi-I/O Card to "Legacy" ports ?

Hi,

I have a PC on which the on-board parallel port has blown. I have
bought a Netmos NM9835 based multi I/O card. This chipset supports
the remapping of it's ports to "legacy" port addresses, but the
standard driver disks only have a DOS utility for doing so. I have
searched for a utility that can do this under Windows 2000, but
without any success. Most of the programming and debugging dongles are
only supported using a parallel ports at a so called legacy port
addresses.
From the NM9835 data*** it looks like if one can get a Multi-I/O
card that uses this IC together with an external EEPROM that can be
reconfigured using the DOS utility, then such a card will be seen by
Windows as being a "legacy" card. The NM9835 supports the loading of
configuration values from an external EEPROM at powerup.
Unfortunately all the NM9835 cards I could find does not have such an
external configuration EEPROM.
