I installed the driver for this and xp seems to like it. can't find any address that seems similar to the defaults for machs parallel 1 and 2 addresses in xp parallel port info. any help appreciated Mike

Take a look in the device manager under "Ports"
See attached image:
The first listed I/O Range is what you will need to use.
