The cards seem to generally use the MosChip device MSC98xxCV and there are drivers from MosChip. My card is a "Skymaster"
I have the same trouble with Windows 7.
I get a printer port OK and I have the driver for the parallel port but Windows 7 won't allocate a port for it because it is not digitally signed. This could be something to do with the Windows security that inhibits direct access to port addresses
It works OK with XP and Windows 98 on virtual drives
However I do get an installation under another heading in Windows 7 that allocates odd resources similar to what Roger got and the editing facility greyed out.
