My apologies to all, but my over-zealous spell-check program "renamed" the manufacturers of two parallel cards that I have successfully tested with the new software <arghhh>. Here are the correct titles and a little more detail about each:
> 1. Dell motherboard LPT port as LPT1 at 0378 - Actually, any computer's > LPT1 port should work in native mode - so you already have one LPT port > under Windows 2K/ XP without any special configuration. > 2. A LAVA parallel card - These cards are slightly more expensive than > others, but are true Plug&Play and do not require the installation of > custom drivers. > 3. A NetMos parallel card - This brand is sold by several retailers on > the Internet for about $11, and come with custom drivers on a CD that you > will insert into your computer upon installation. > 4. A ByteRunner serial/parallel card - > These cards have been very > popular with DX4WIN clients who use them for additional serial ports, and > come with custom drivers on a diskette. Unfortunately, the driver > software does not display the virtual memory address under My Computer -> > Properties ->Hardware ->Device Manager ->Ports. You will need a small > utility program called VSSHOW.COM (downloadable from several sites on the > web or from ByteRunner/VSCOM support). This utility, which must be run > from a DOS boot disk (NOT from a Windows, Run, "CMD" DOS prompt), searches > for their card and gives you the LPT address in hex.
