Got a PCMCIA Parrallel port but it maps to some weird address not 378 and
278.Useless to my PIC programmer.
Ideas ?

Ideas ?
1) Move to USB
2) Find out what port it is, and alter the software to suit. Help from the author may be required, if the hardware settings aren't user configurable.
3) Did I say move to USB? Parallel port programmers are becoming less reliable because of critical timing, faster computers, new OP systems.Don...

It's not address 3BC by any chance is it? That is an often used address for laptops, so it would not surprise me if a PCMCIA card used this address. Any good software should support this address. It is doesn't, move to USB. In fact I'd move to USB anyway.

find a USB driven programmmer, you can get them for AVR.

Hmmm
I have a CP-PIC877 develop board.
It used parrallel port in circuit programming.
Maybe I should fit a ZIF socket instead and go for dons mplay usb programmer and transfre the chip.
sure, ZIF sockets are a lot cheaper these days than a few years back.
Mind you, those green counterfeit 3M sockets from "Choina" made the prices plunge.

Hey Don,
I have this development board which uses a 7407 and PNP and parra port for programming.
I had an idea.
If ICSP is available for the USB PICSTART+ progarmmer you sell I should be able to:-
That would solve all my problems.
I just want to use MPLAB, and I don't want to have to swap chips all the time.
Comments ?
If it is my dt001 board with the 4PDT Load/Run switch, then it makes it very easy:
but any board should be able to be converted to the above without too much drama.

Went a USB programmer from Dontronics - problems solved
