Earlier versions of some LinuxCNC drivers believed the info in the BIOS data structure. As it was found that so many BIOSes had this error, later drivers ignored the erroneous info and plunged ahead, as there was little chance for any real damage to be done if the report of no EPP was actually correct. A program that forces the port to EPP mode is at http://pico-systems.com/codes/pcisetup.tgz It assumes the parport extended control register is at the standard addres of 0x402 above the specified parport data port address (usually 0x378). So, for the on-mobo parport, you'd run this like : sudo ./pcisetup 378
It writes 0x80 to the I/O port 0x402 above the address specified on the command line.
