That's what I thought. The parport stuff certainly _shouldn't_ be
clobbering it, unless there is some weird aliasing effect going on with
Michael's motherboard. The ports that parport is likely to go for are
0x378-0x37f, 0x278-0x27f and 0x3bc-0x3bf, plus 0x778-0x77a and
0x678-0x67a if it thinks you've got ECP ports.
