Hello. Is anyone using an add on PCI parallel port card with JP1 and Vista 32?? :)

Yep. Works fine, depending on the card I suppose. Just have to make sure to enter the correct address in IR since it won't be one of the standard ones. Dig into device manager to find the address. I'm running an old compusa house brand card I got a few years ago. In fact, I'd be willing to sell it to you if you need one.

Thanks but I already have a card.I just can't get it to work.It doesn't use standard hex addresses either and that may be the rub.Give me an example of the address you use in IR.Thanks.

The first address on the resources tab of my parallel port in device manager is B000, which is what I use in IR.
