Mini PCI to PCI card adapter to add parallel port

Hi,

I have a problem. I have installed a mini PCI card adapter to make it possible to add 2 PCI cards on the Roboard. One is the PCI parallel card and the other is a mini PCI to PCI adapter where I put the original VGA card into.

This didn't worked. Maybe I need to change somehting in the Bios.
The problem is that I need a additional parallel port for my interface card.
Can somebody help me?

Thanks, Reinier

There is no need to change BIOS setting. It is possibly due to your adapter issue; you may first check whether your adapter works on other devices that have MiniPCI slots.
