I've to make a system to program chips in series.
I've the software to drive the parallel port to program the uC.
This software run under win98 but not under win2000.
The question is: is there a program to unlock the use of some io port to a program for win2000?
You can search on google with keyword "winio" or "winio.lib" or sth. like that. There is a toolkit "WinIO" that can do the Parallel port access under win2000.
NOTICE:
1. Only administrator can access the parallel port with that WinIO package.
2. Only Release version of your C code works, Debug doesn't.
attached you'll find GiveIO incl. a small batch for starting that driver. (Perhaps the path needs to be adjusted ...). I use that tool to access the parallel port under Win2k with an older JTAG-software written for Win9x. It works perfect (also with the debug-version)
