ISA I/O Winbond cards

I need several LPT ports for hardlocks in my old machine. To buy a new PCI controller is an expensive way, so I tried to use old ISA I/O controllers. I have 4 cards and each has one winbond chip at least. The first two are working fine under Win ME, the second two are maybe broken maybe have incompatible jumper setting.

  1. Winbond W86C453P
  2. Winbond W83757F
  3. Winbond W86C456A
  4. Winbond W86C453P second

Winbond W86C453P

  1. chip: W86C453P (9037SJLJ)
  2. output ports: COM + LPT
  3. onboard ports: COM + GAME PORT
W86C453P

I have no documentation for this card, but this jumper setting works for me. At least output LPT port works. This is a jupmer setting...

Winbond W83757F

  1. chip: W83757F (205NA47075)
  2. super I/O card FCC ID:ID2-W83757
  3. output ports: COM + LPT
  4. onboard ports: IDE + FDC
W83757f

I found documentation: layout, jumper setting 1 and jumper setting 2. I have enabled only LPT port and card works fine. If I enable HDD or FDD controller, my computer is not able to use floppy drive. Nor motherboard nor I/O cars FDD controller works.
