pkp can't find pport

Hi group,

I want to use a PCI pport card which appears as 0xbc00 in dmesg. I can use
parapin's inputtest and outputtest OK to send signals to/from it if I
replace the default 0x378 w/ 0xbc00 in parapin.h.  It shows up as parport1
in cat /proc/ioports and lp1(if that's supposed to be the same thing) in the
/dev tree. I've tried both in .pkprc without success. I even tried giving it
lp0. I get:

$pkp
Bad port specification /dev/lp0
pkp:200:Hardware initialization error

I'm assuming the 200 refers to the line number in pkp.cc but that message
occurs at l. 218.

here's

$lsmod
parport_pc             34244  2
lp                     11460  0
parport                36296  2 parport_pc,lp

There are no /dev/parport* but there are /dev/lp0 and /dev/lp1. Do I need to
make them manually? I thought udev took care of that these days.
