Thank you for the reply.  Comments inline.

This is what I wanted but I could not figure out how do it. If you tell me
how I will be happy to change it. I tried if (p->base == 0x378) but then
class_device_create does not get executed.

The last experience I have with off board cards was about 5 years ago. The
choices for the two parallel ports were 378, 278, or 3BC. I was not aware
that you had flexibility now.

As I said above I was not aware todays off board parallel ports had more
choices. I will see what I can do to fix this. Do you have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
