Hi,

I have Windows XP Home, I install an extra plug & play
parrallel port. Windows XP configure the I/O Range
address to 0A48-0A4F (I can change it to LPT2 or LPT3)
but in my DOS software I only have the following 3
choices 3BC-3BE / 37B-374 / 278-27A for the port setting.

How to change the 0A48-0A4F to 278/27A?

Help!!
Thanks!

If it is a PCI card, these are the memory addresses of the hardware port.
but in my DOS software I only have the following 3
choices 3BC-3BE / 37B-374 / 278-27A for the port setting.

If your DOS software directly uses the hardware addresses you probably have
no possibilities to use that card. If you are lucky, the programmer used the
addresses only to "name" the ports, but the software really prints to the
logical "lpt(n)", so trying that choices one at a time you could be able to
print to new port.
