I have a computer I am working on that has an ASUS P3B-F Slot1 P-III.  I
have a 20G harddrive attached thru an Untra100  PCI-IDE card.  The
manual for the ASUS motherboard explains how to set BIOS information for
onboard IDE ports [I have other harddrives/CD-RWs attached to those
ports].

How do I access the BIOS on the Ultra100 card so I can adjust if needed
or check on statistics, depending on device attached [ie:  a future DVD
unit]?  I
assume this procedure would work had it been an Ultra66 or some other
PCI-IDE card.

I also inserted a Wiseland ISA Parallel Port.  I am not sure if it is
PnP or not, It is for an external  Zip250 drive I have.  How can I be
sure if I can read or write to the Zip drive if it is plugged in to this
parallel port.  I was unsucessful when I used in in the older Pentium
computer that I have.

In this case, the card can use IRQ5 or IRQ7 [set to IRQ7 by a jumper]
and use ports 378, 278, or 3BC [set to 378 by jumpers].   I assume that
I need to go to the ASUS BIOS and set IRQ7 to be reserved so that IRQ7
is not used elsewhere and can be used by the parallel port card [&
Zip250 deive]?  How do I reserve a port address for it?
