Me again, Just a quick question about parallel ports as they pertain to PIC programmers. My computer has an on-board parallel port with 4 options in the BIOS. 1). SPP, which I think is " Standard Parallel Port " and is not bi-directional. 2). EPP or " Enhanced Parallel Port " which I think is bi-directional. 3). ECP or " Extended Capabilities Port " I have no idea what this is. 4). EPP+ECP obviously a combination of the last two. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which I should be using ?? Thanks.
