Hi All

I need to install a second printer port on my NetBSD-1.5.2 server. And these
days most motherboards have abandoned the ISA bus and the only choice is PCI
printer card. I check the man page and the GENERIC config file and could not
figure out how to turn on the Pci switch to detect the printer card.

I did try to change the isa setting of lpt1 to pci 0 dev 0 function 0  and
the config complains that it has to be isa interface.

The printer card is Kouwell PCI, the chipset is NetMos NM9805cv. It claims
to work in Linux.  So does it work on NetBSD?

Any comment is welcome? I am not on the list so cc to me will be much
appreciated.
