INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR PARALLEL BIDIR IN WINDOWS NT4.0

1) Boot into WINDOWS NT without the Parallel BIDIR 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 there. NT does not show the IRQ for
parallel ports. By default the motherboard Parallel Port uses
IRQ7, so assume IRQ7 is not free. If IRQ5 is used then remove
the IRQ jumpers completely.

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. Then Click
the Devices button. Double-click the ParPort device.

This shows your existing parallel port addresses. Do not set
our card to any of these addresses. Set our card to the next
address. For example:

  on Lava Card

   LPT0=3bc
   LPT1=378
   LPT2=278

so if you see 378 then set the Lava Card to LPT2 to make it LPT2.

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

6) Boot back into Windows NT and verify that our card has installed.
Go to Start | Programs | Administrative Tools |
Windows NT Diagnostics and enter the Resources Tab. 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.
