intellijel Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Like most people with modern PC's I have no parallel port. I have a USB to 25pin parallel port adapter but I can't get it to work. With this cable I have sucessfully connected an HP printer, however when I connect the JDM to it and then plug into a USB port no hardware is detected and I am not sure what driver to install.Is there a generic USB to Parallel port driver that might work? Anyone have any tips?thank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 The JDM connects to the serial port (aka. COM port, RS232 port), typically a 9-pin male DSUB socket.I don't think a USB to serial adapter will work for JDM, as they probably do not generate the +/-12V on the Tx pin which is how JDM generates the programming voltage.Luckily, my "modern PC" isn't so modern that it doesn't have a serial port.

napierzaza Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 In regards to the parallel port: I'm pretty sure all the parallel port to USB adapters are specifically meant for printers and their drivers only map it as a printer port and pretty much never as a general LPT.
