I converted our Windows 95 server with a SIIG PCI parallel port card to a FreeBSD 3.2 machine. I couldn't get FreeBSD to find the card, not matter what I did. But the $29 SIIG High-IRQ ISA parallel card works great! If you have an open ISA slot and a free IRQ, I'd go that route (cheaper, too). The card is selectable between IRQ 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12 and 15, DMA 0, 1 and 3, and I/O 3BCh, 378h, 268h, 280h and 288h. I've got a HP LaserJet 5 running off this card and an HP DesignJet 600 plotter off the motherboard's port running just fine under FreeBSD. --Dan ** The thing I like most about Windows 98 is... ** You can download FreeBSD with it!
