INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR PARALLEL-EPP/ECP IN WINDOWS NT4.0

1) Boot into NT without the Parallel-ECP/EPP installed in the computer.

2) Check for available IRQs.
Go to Start Programs Administrative Tools Windows NT Diagnostics
and enter the Resources Tab. Check for a free IRQ in here. NT does not
show the IRQ for parallel ports. By default the motherboard Parallel Port
uses IRQ7, so assume IRQ7 is not free. Find a number missing in here
between 0 and 15. If 9 is missing then set the IRQ jumper to 2.
If all the IRQs are being used then you must install our card without an IRQ.

3) Remove the DMA jumpers. NT4.0 does not support ECP.
ECP mode is enabled by enabling a DMA channel.

3) Find out which Input/Output Address the OnBoard parallel port is using.
Go to Start Programs Administrative Tools Windows NT Diagnostics
and enter the Resources Tab and then Click the Devices button.
Double-click the ParPort device. This shows your existing parallel
port addresses. Do not set the card to any of these addresses. Set the
card to the next address. For example:

  on Lava Card
  LPT1=3bc
  LPT2=378
  LPT3=278
  note  NT4.0 cannot detect the non-standard addresses
  (LPT4 and up) so do not choose one of those addresses.
  
If you see 378 then set the Lava Card to LPT3 278 to make it LPT2.

5)Shut down and put the card in the ISA slot.

6) Boot back into NT and verify that our card has installed.
Go to Start Programs Administrative Tools Windows NT Diagnostics
and enter the Resources Tab and then Click the Devices button.
Double-click the ParPort device. If you see an additional set
of input/output ranges then you have successfully installed our card.
