This may not answer the question (epia mini-itx parallel port) but it might work anyway. In linuxbios V1 in the file src/superio/via/vt1211/setup_serial.inc you can add these lines to enable the parallel port. It defaults to 0x378 and IRQ 5 and DMA 2. /* Select parallel port */ OUTPNPADDR($7) OUTPNPDATA($1) /* set the enable in reg. 0x30 to 00, SPP , 01 = ECP, 02 = EPP */ OUTPNPADDR($0x30) OUTPNPDATA($0)
Put this before this line: /* turn off PnP */ OUTPNPADDR($0xaa)
I just tried this on epia-m and it worked for me, I could see the parallel port IO register space. YMMV.

Dave, can you send me the file with all your good fixes in it :-)
