Re: 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.

Did you Disable the Bad on board Ports?
Disable it in the BIOS Then try to reconfigure the new card in System.
