RCA ChipperCheck, and No Parallel Port to hook to?

Apr 10, 2005 2 Replies

I bought a new Laptop last year, and it doesn't have a Parallel Port, wasn't even an option for a add-on. So I couldn't use the old ChipperCheck I had.



So I spent the $190 for the new ChipperCheck II, thinking it would be compatible with USB. No such Luck. So I bought a PCMCIA to Parallel Adaptor, and configured it to LPT1with a I/O address of 0378, it looks like it should work, but the ChipperCheck software does not see it. I get the error message " Nonexitent Port in Chipper.INI" But it points to LPT1.



Does anyone have any Ideas?, or has anyone else tried to use the software with an adaptor like this?



Thanks Mike..


I bought a USB hub on eBay with a parallel port but it warns that it won't work bidirectionally. I suspect you'll need a laptop with a bidirectional parallel port.
