Sorry to be dense but change the properties via BIOS to be what? Actually
it will be through some other software as this is a Startech dual PCI
parallel port card (PCs don't come with parallel ports anymore!).

From memory, a choice would normally be between...

ye olde parallel type
bi-directional (sometime nibble)
EPP
ECP (and sometimes different variants too)

Which should I choose?

Also, what's all this about Bidirectional and language monitor? Do talk
techie - I can take it ;-).

Thanks,
Paul DS
