LPT_TEST.COM Version 0.2 ============ (September 1998) This utility is designed to check wether your parallel ports support the bidirectional data transfer mode. PalmZIP runs a similar test to determine the correct mode of operation. Depending on the type of your PC (PC or AT), the behaviour of the parallel port(s) may be influenced by some settings in the BIOS-Setup or a setup utility supplied by the manu- facturer. Example output of LPT_TEST: LPT_TEST 0.2 (c) 1998 by Klaus Peichl --------------------------------------- Parallel port info utility. Parallel port: LPT1 Port address: 0378 Readback after output: OK Bidirectional capability: OK, Input=Low! Parallel port: LPT2 Port address: 0278 Readback after output: OK Bidirectional capability: Failed. In this cace, palmZIP would use the bidirectional mode only if the Zip-drive was connected to LPT1. However, palmZIP accepts command line parameters to force the transfer mode you specify (see PALMZIP.TXT). Zip ist ein eingetragenes Warenzeichen der Firma Iomega.
