[. . . ] SPP / EPP / ECP Base I/O Address / Interrupt This determines the base address and interrupt of the parallel port. 378 / IRQ7 / Disabled / 278 / IRQ5 / 3BC / IRQ7 DMA Channel This BIOS feature determines which DMA channel the parallel port should use when it is in ECP mode. The ECP mode uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates of up to 2. 5 Mbits/s and provides symmetric bidirectional communications. For all this, it requires the use of a DMA channel. By default, the parallel port uses DMA Channel 3 when it is in ECP mode. This feature is provided just in case one of your add-on cards requires the use of DMA Channel 3. In such a case, you can use this BIOS feature to force the parallel port to use the alternate DMA Channel 1. Please note that there is no performance advantage in choosing DMA Channel 3 over DMA Channel 1 or vice versa. As long as either Channel 3 or Channel 1 is available for your parallel port to use, the parallel port will be able to function properly in ECP mode.
