At least the one I have has a text file called Linux_M.txt. It lists the serial ports and the parallel ports in different sections, but here is the port breakdown I have created. Board with Nm9835CV part I/O at 0xc000 [0xc001] serial port 1 I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401] serial port 2 I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801] printer port I/O at 0xd000 [0xd001] ECP/EPP config registers I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401] not used I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801] not used Now, depending on what slot the card is plugged into, the port range may be different.
