The "parallel port devices" mentioned above are _not_ printers. They're
things like parallel port IDE hard drives and such. Not what you want.

The "parport" lines above that are what you want. The IRQ, IO and DMA
may be different on your system, but probably not. These are standard
values for what DOS calls "LPT1".
