• Parallel Port info required:

  • What is its I/O address?
    • Typically 0x378 for first LPT
  • Which IRQ does it use?
    • Typically IRQ 7
  • PLIP works:
    • in polled mode without interrupts (good for initial debug)
    • with interrupts

• If motherboard has parallel port hardware, be sure to enable it in the BIOS.
