I have run it on win7 64 bit before...

I have almost the same problem, I have not LPT port on my motherboard, so I bought Axago PCIA-P1.
And I want to ask if you did prove to redirect the PORT address?
And seriously it worked on x64 system??
Thank you, Hrebík.

Re: PCI parrallel port incompatibility.
no my friend !!! I am sorry to tell you that the parallel card wont work but I eventually found out a ltp header on my mobo and I just replaced the parallel cord with a cord matching that header!!! I have solved my problem but still those cards wont work
but heres something for you!!! viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1540 maybe this will help you out my friend....

Re: PCI parrallel port incompatibility.
hmm, but the pci card cost 250 CZK ...
you have something in a similar price up to 20 dollars?

Re: PCI parrallel port incompatibility.
you didn't get me my friend!! even though if you find a PCI card for cheap that would not solve your problem coz it won't work!! try searching your mother board or go to device manager on ur PC to fing Ports and under that try and find LTP1 etc if you find that Ill tell you what do do next. Also tell me the motherboard model

Re: PCI parrallel port incompatibility.
many mother boards like mine don't physically bear a parallel port but have headers for parallel port on board itself so I am asking you to look for that

Re: PCI parrallel port incompatibility.
Just so you know, I've had to use a few LPT PCI cards before and some of them do work. I usually use the ones with Serial built in to them. Make sure when you are buying them that they support EPP function so this way the port can be "bit banged". CheersHrebCZa wrote:hmm, but the pci card cost 250 CZK ...
