title: Write to a parallel port on windows 7
body: <p>I try to find out how to access a parallel port for writing some bits on a Windows7 machine. This parallel port ist located on a PCI-Card, and is automatically installed by Windows7 and can be monitored as LPT2. The adresses assigned to the Port are 
      E800-E807 and
      E480-E487
  . This looks to me like non-pyhsical adresses. I already tried different methods to write on the port like using inpout32.dll from <a href="http://www.logix4u.net/inpout32.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.logix4u.net/inpout32.htm</a> or parport.dll as a Java solution. To free these ports I installed Userport but I think with this app it's only possible to free real physical ports.
  So, how can i either change the port adress to e.g. 378, or get my app writing on a virtual adress with inpout32.dll?</p>
  
  <p>I already tried some google-found-advices like disabling the 378-adress in BIOS so it is 'free' for beeing used by the PCI-Card. Or like switching between assingement to LPT1, LPT2, LPT3 but nothing seems to work.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Maybe someone knows a specific driver for this PCI-Card, so that I don't need to use the default one?
