OpenServer 5.0.7 supports parallel PCI cards directly.
On older products, you have to determine, using a Lava DOS utility, the
I/O address range and IRQ assigned to the card by the BIOS, and
use these numbers when running mkdev parallel.

If you change the PCI slot and/or add another PCI card, there's a good
chance that the I/O address and/or IRQ will also change for the PCI
parallel card, and you'll have to delete and re-add the card with the
updated information. Not a major hassle, but another good reason to
encourage your client to upgrade to 5.0.7 someday soon.
