I had the 4018 and the SIIG from a year ago (or more) when I was looking
for cards that worked with EPP, but couldn't get them to work. Recently
finding the extended register and a way to set the ECR to EPP was the
break I needed. So I dusted off the old cards and Eureka, they worked.

The 4008 and 4018 have the same 1888 chip but with some different
markings beside the 1888 and different vendor information in lspci -v.
The 4008 is a single port card and the 1888 chip has a series of pins
that are not connected that the 4018 dual port does have running to the
second port. It would be interesting to try to wire up the unconnected
pins to see if another port is there, but it would take a fair amount of
effort, and probably is, for my soldering skill at least, too risky.
