Parallel Port

[StanlyKupp]

I have an application that uses the parallel port. It works fine on Win2K using the AccessHW stuff. However, the piece of hardware I have hanging off the parallel port requires the parallel port to be put in SPP or AT mode. I change the mode in the computers BIOS. However, I have a computer that does not have that option in the BIOS. Is there a way of programatically changing the mode through LabVIEW or through Win2K?

I would think that if there is no BIOS support, there's no hardware support on the motherboard. You might want to check with the manufacturer of the motherboard. I suppose it's possible that the motherboard was newer than the BIOS that they used. If that's the case, a BIOS upgrade would be the solution to using the port on the motherboard. You could also look for an add-on board with a newer parallel port.
