    [looks like my first posting did not get through, if so I apologize]

    Hi parport people,

    I'm not able to get working any of two ports on PLX PCI9050 I2O PCI card.

    I get alway this:

    0x3bc: CTR: wrote 0x0c, read 0xff
    0x3bc: DATA: wrote 0xaa, read 0xff

    When I try different ioports the result is the same. Regardless if
    compiled as a module or as a part of kernel.

    With autoprobe (i.e. without option "io=0x...." and parport_pc compiled as
    a module) it finds only onboard parport at 0x378.

    Relevant part of /proc/pci:

      Bus 0, device 8, function 0:
        Network controller: PLX PCI9050 I2O (rev 1).
          Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10.
          Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xffaeff80 [0xffaeff80].
          I/O at 0xec80 [0xec81].
          I/O at 0xefe0 [0xefe1].
          I/O at 0xefa8 [0xefa9].

    lspci -vv:

            Subsystem: Unknown device 10b5:0002

            Region 0: Memory at ffaeff80 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
            Region 1: I/O ports at ec80
            Region 4: I/O ports at efe0
            Region 5: I/O ports at efa8

    I tried kernel 2.2.13, 2.2.14 and 2.3.50 with no success. Last two days I
    spent many hours searching on the Net and in the archive of this mailing
    list. I'm testing it in two Socket7 computers: one with 82437VX Triton II
    chipset, other is quite new with ALI15xx chipset. Except a different I/O
    ports and IRQ shown in /proc/pci behaviour is the same.

    Under Win98 it is recognized as LPT2 (0x278-0x27A, IRQ10) and LPT3
    (0x268-0x26F, IRQ10).

    Under DOS it is recognized as LPT2 (0x278, IRQ10) and COM3 (0x3E8,
    IRQ10) (uhmm..weird, I know, but thats what the driver says).

    I tried to patch the kernel (2.2.14) with something like this (just a
    try, I am in no way kernel programmer):

    but this apparently doesn't help.

    I'd like to use all three parallel ports.

    Has somebody any clue on this?
