"The Lava Parallel-PCI is the industry's first affordable PCI bus parallel port, capable of data throughput rates up to 3 times faster than standard ISA or motherboard parallel ports. Ideal as an interface to external storage devices (e.g. Zip Drives), printers, and parallel port scanners, the Lava Parallel-PCI is a speedy low-cost addition to any PCI-based PC. Easy to install - just plug it in and it configures itself! Features: PCI Bus Single 25-pin Enhanced (EPP) Parallel Port. Easy jumperless Plug-n-Play installation - automatically configures itself for a free PCI I/O address and IRQ. Software configurable for standard ISA LPT addresses (0278h and 0378h) for backward compatibility with legacy parallel port peripherals. Up to 3 times faster data throughput than comparable ISA bus or motherboard parallel port. Fully supports Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) standard. Fully backward compatible with standard 4-bit and 8-bit (bi-directional) parallel ports."
