DW>From experience, the following chart shows how the BIOS
DW>assigns LPT port numbers to the three main parallel port
DW>addresses.
DW>           3 Ports  2 Ports  1 Port
DW>           present  present  present
DW>           -------  -------  -------
DW>  LPT1       3BC      378      278
DW>  LPT2       378      278
DW>  LPT3       278
DW>    OS/2 assigns IRQ 7 to LPT1 and IRQ 5 to LPT2.
Actually the IRQ is "assigned" to the I/O port.
  Port 3BC and 378 use IRQ 7
  Port 278 uses IRQ 5.
I have only one printer adapter installed on this machine.
It is called COM1, it uses IRQ5 @ port 278, and OS/2 loves it.
