<div dir="ltr">I have an old universal programmer (i.e. for programming Flash/PLD/Microcontroller chips) that is parallel port based.<br>Since new computers with a parallel port are harder to come by (if at all), I'm looking for a solution that will let me use it with a USB connection.<br>
<br>Is there a solution that involves a USB to parallel cable, </div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, there are few of thous. <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div dir="ltr">and a virtualization software that traps HW parallel port accesses and emulate them through the USB<>parallel interface?<br></div></blockquote><div><br>In linux it's a terminal based device, so you need to map it to a non serial device and you should be able to work with it.<br>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr"><br>The control program for the above programmer only runs under W2000 or DOS, but the virtualization solution can run under Linux.<br>
