I have two printers and a scanner. The main printer is attached to the parallel port (LPT1, IRQ 5) of my Micron Pentium II. To accomodate the other printer (which must be on IRQ7) I installed a SIIG Cyber Parallel Dual PCI Board. Getting the PCI Port on IRQ 7 has always been a challenge whenever I had to reinstall OS, etc. I did have the following configuration set up and functioning successfully for two + years:
Ports -
COM 4 and 5
Cyber [LPT2]
Printer [LPT1]

SIIG Cyber Parallel PCI Board - IRQ7
i/o 0378 - 037F
i/o 0778 - 077B

but then had to reinstall Windows98 and now the settings are a mess:
Ports -
COM 2 and 4
Cyber Parallel PCI
Cyber Parallel PCI
Printer [LPT1]

SIIG Cyber Parallel Dual PCI Board - IRQ7
i/o 1010 - 1017
i/o 1040 - 1043
i/o 1018 - 101F
i/o 1044 - 1047

When I try to change the settings of the SIIG Cyber Parallel Dual PCI Board, I get: This resource setting cannot be modified.

How do I get LPT2? How can I change the i/o settings of the PCI Parallel?

TIA,
Frank
