Hopefully this device works for you as this would be a good option instead of another parallel port.
Terry - I currently use a cheap Chinese PCMCIA parallel card bought off eBay and my ST-8i works just fine with it. Check your hardware device settings and make sure that it is set to LPT1 with defaults for everything. If necessary, totally disable the built-in port as it will hog the 1st port assignment. I have no problems whatsoever.
