Hi,

I'm trying to set a Willem EPROM programmer which uses parallel port, so I got an expresscard parallel adapter.
The programmer software looks fine (using Windows 98 config), but hardware doesn't seem to work as I can't burn any EPROM.

I found a tutorial for using the programmer here: http://www.ezoflash.com/willem_info/for ... 1144919305
But the link to parallel port configuration is broken.

I found an explanation for the port configuration in wine wiki: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guid ... -configure
But I don't have any /dev/lp* devices.

How can I get this port to work?

Using Debian 6, wine 1.2.3.


Thank you.

That's a Linux question more than a Wine question, I bet.

http://wiki.debian.org/HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI
suggests that the card should show up with lspci. Does it?

http://tuxmobil.org/expresscard_linux.html
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ExpressCard and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/371434
suggest that you might need to do 'modprobe pciehp',
'modprobe acpiphp', and/or 'modprobe pciehp.pciehp_force=1'.

Hi,

No, it shows up as USB. Here is dmesg output:
Quote:
[15202.349908] usb 1-1.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[15202.444078] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2305
[15202.444085] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[15202.444090] usb 1-1.3: Product: IEEE-1284 Controller
[15202.444094] usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
[15202.444255] usb 1-1.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[15202.458620] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 8 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x067B pid 0x2305


And lsusb:
Quote:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port


After I copied those outputs here, I realized this: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 8 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x067B pid 0x2305

But I created the symlink from /dev/usb/lp0 to ~/.wine/dosdevices/lpt1 and didn't seem to make any difference.


You're sure this isn't wine related? That last line of dmesg output doesn't mean it's ok in Linux?

Thanks.

I found out that this USB adapter is only meant for printers. It doesn't work in ECP/EPP modes and thus won't work with the programmer.
So I guess you were right about this not being related to wine.
