I can't speak to issues with Win 8 or 64-bit but as far as parallel cards go that work on WinXP, I'm using a card from StarTech.com labeled "Single Port PCI IEEE-1284 Parallel Card."

The only config change needed was to insert the correct device address (obtained from Device Manager, resources) into PowerSDR setup.

Can't recall where I obtained it - one of the usual online suspects.

Good luck,

Pete, N3EVL

Gentlemen:  I’ve been running my SDR-1000 for a couple years using the old,
now unsupported,  USB->parallel cable.
I’m having issues with intermittency.  Sent my radio to FLEX and they say it
tests OK.  They run the parallel cable (not USB).

Works for them !  Just not for me..



It could be a lot of things…  sound card hardware, sound card software,
drivers,  etc.



I had been successful running on Win 8 with late ver. Power SDR 2.3 5.   Got
the USB driver working and everything …

So I’m starting over.  I’ve gone back to PowerSDR ver 1.18.6  and  Windows
XP.  And the original Flex USB driver..

No good.. so far.



I want to try a parallel cable.. but my ‘modern’ dual core computer doesn’t
have the ‘full enchilada’ as regards the

Parallel port implementation.  I’ve tried a fully enabled parallel cable.
No enchilada !

I’ve tried every choice on the ‘setup’ of the parallel port…   nothing.  L



Question:  Which PCI bus parallel port card are any of you using
successfully ?  Perhaps there is even an inexpensive one ?

                        Where did you get it ? Tiger ? Microcenter ?



Perhaps there is a FAQ I need to read ???



THANK YOU for any help you can give.



73,
