Catering to the parallel port.....

After reading your other responses in this thread, I'd strongly recommend using a resistance value no higher than 2.2 ohms, or no lower than 22 megohms.

You write poorly, beg us for help, and abuse those who try. You're wrong[1], you're rude, and you top-post. You've gotten several good suggestions and you've cast them aside.

Enlighten me? What could you possibly offer me?

Go ask your basic question in .basics, if they'll have you.

Here's someone who's keen on learning just how a community works.

Since you know the different specs of the different types of ports that your device might be connected to, just use a resistance value that works with all of them. If that can't be done because some configurations are mutually exclusive, you will have to specify which type of port your gadget is compatible with.

What's so hard about that?

They won't, he already got kicked out there. Probably because his concept of risk management is just a bit too basic.

We really need sci.electronics.

Have you ever done an mission critcal work? I have NASA, NOAA and numerous aerospace companies still use my ideas. The space shuttle doesn't launch without using my equipment.

You are the twit, and far worse than clueless. You also have no time to think for yourself.

Michael, I thought you blocked googlegroups? I didn't see this 'twit' at all.

NOTE: Agent v5 will (according to rumor) sport filtering by Message-ID... getting closer to not needing NewsProxy at all as a front-end ;-)

I mark them read, but I saw the moron being quoted, and had to tell him off. You should give me a break, since its almost Christmas. :)

Cheers, James Arthur

Agent V5 has been a rumor for a long time. I plan to buy a license when it comes out, but they can pound sand until.

Huh? I thought that's where I've been all these years, especially with Phil A posting.

I was hoping someone would comment on the resistance values I suggested. I was only trying to help.

He needs news:sci.electronics.dead.from.the.neck.up

Your recommendations did not pass unnoticed. 8^)

I was going to add "Don't forget the bypass caps, electrolytics are best!", but thought the better of it.

ROFLMAO!!!

You are really going to quibble over a few cents of resistors that will give you known values when a cable falls off or breaks? Just how many million of these are you making and how cheap are your product support lines?

Figure out how many resistors an hour of support and the resulting reputation damage is going to cost you.

In other words you are telling potential customers that you really don't give a damn if they have problems. Great marketing.

It has pullups already in the input device. Fine for Hi/Lo control with any PP but not low enough for decent rise times up to 100KHz with an OC PP.

Do whatever you want, and "let the chips fall where they may". There's no law against learning stuff the hard way.

Good Luck! Rich
