I want to install at least 3 parallel-ports (lpt1, lpt2 and lpt3) on a
computer.
Does anybody know if this is (easy) possible in Windows XP?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

The PC supports up to three LPT ports in the BIOS. They have input/output
addresses of 3BCh, 378h, and 278h. You have to use expansion slots to get
the two additional LPT ports. Use PCI cards so that you will not have IRQ
conflicts. You could even use USB to LPT converters but they are rather
expensive.
