You seem to be confusing CMOS setup with BIOS a little bit.  OS/2 will use 
the hardware as configured by the CMOS setup, unless something is telling 
it to do differently (like a device driver).  
Are you saying that despite setting it to be a standard parallel port, that 
OS/2 is trying to make it a ECP/EPP port?
