The LAVA Parallel-PCI, when it came to market, was the first parallel PCI port card in the world. Fully PCI compliant, it takes advantage of the speed and easy configuration of the PCI bus. When it appeared, it almost tripled the speed benchmarks of ISA-bus parallel port cards, while offering greater flexibility for configuration. Users were no longer restricted to the three standard parallel port addresses: the Parallel-PCI would automatically select a free address and IRQ during installation, virtually eliminating user error and resource conflicts.
