Removing ISA parallel ports

To remove ISA parallel cards/ports:

1. Start the Hardware/Kernel Manager and select Parallel Port from the devices listed, or run mkdev parallel.

2. Select Remove an ISA parallel port.

3. Relink the kernel as described in ``Relinking the kernel''.

4. If you have no further changes to make, use the System Shutdown Manager or the shutdown(ADM) command to shut down the system and reboot.

When an ISA parallel card is removed, the device nodes that are connected to other configured parallel ports remain the same. For example, a system that contains two single-port ISA parallel cards might be configured like this:

	Parallel Card #1	address=378-37f	/dev/lp0
	Parallel Card #2	address=3bc-3be	/dev/lp1

If you remove the first card, Parallel Card #2 would remain connected to /dev/lp1 and it's base I/O address would stay the same. If you were to install a new parallel card into the system, the configuration of Parallel Card #2 still remains the same and the new card takes the following configuration:

	New Parallel Card	address=4bc-4be	/dev/lp0
	Parallel Card #2	address=3bc-3be	/dev/lp1
