the pio_open function in sanei_pio.c uses ioperm() to request access
to those io ports, but ioperm only works up to io port 0x3ff. For
higher port addresses iopl() must be used.

Btw, it's strange for the PCI card to be detected as a plain SPP
parallel port. Which PCI vendor/device ID does this card have?

Best regards,
