Hi,
Can any body tell me how to use winio in case the parallel port is a parallel printing cable(bafo 1284).
I want to use this as a parallel port to access PIC programmer from my laptop. My laptop is having XP operating system.
Best regards
rohit

rohitd,
Since you are using a parallel port emulator, I'm not sure that using WinIO will work--it might but I would suggest using standard Windows calls:
CreateFile - use LPT# as the filename and windows will take care of the translation to the cable you are using
WriteFile
etc.
I do this with both USB->Serial port cables and USB->Parallel port cables.
See this post for further info that might help:
