Post by thread:[OT] which Parallel port card

When using a parallel port PIC programmer what parallel card do people use to protect the mobo port?. I can't find any ISA or PCI parallel cards for sale. I've found plenty of multi-IO cards but none of them allow the com/ide/fdd ports to be disabled AFAIK thanks Mike W -- Life is dark and empty for the PIC developer without VirtualBreadboard go look at it... http://www.virtualbreadboard.com

mike just get a old ibm mono vidio card with printer port. if you look for Microcomputer Research. Inc. card type MRI-PP-22 this is a ISA Enhanced parrallel I/O card with 2 printer address 3BC-378-278-368-268-358-258 or LP1 to LP7 or disabled. at a cost of about #20 plus postage. All the best Art. {Original Message removed}

Computer-Gate has a one-directional card, I can get my catalog out and give you the part number, if you want a flat plain LPT card that's NEW. IIRC $6.95 or $7.95; Get a print catalog, their web site's a sick puppy, they do have an 888 phone number (888-437-0895) and have OK stuff. I keep finding these cards used at the local used computer sales etc., if I can find one box I could mail you one for a couple bucks, probably. Don't hold your breath though <G> I've seen a few that could be jumpered any way you wanted including 2nd IDE channel or 2nd FDD port.

Due to my stupidity and filtering rules applied to incoming mail I have lost at least two replies via e-mail to the message below and I have no idea who sent them. Would those who e-mailed me with comments please re-send them.. thanks Mike W ( now with e-mail filtering turned off ) On 18 Apr 00, at 23:42, pic microcontroller discussio wrote: > When using a parallel port PIC programmer what parallel card do > people use to protect the mobo port?.
