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 datasheet 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.
