Dataman 48 parallel port tip and manual query
Posted: 20 Feb 2021 21:03
Hi,
Many thanks for still supporting the Dataman 48, I have bought a used one on the basis of available software and a great list of devices supported (I mainly work on 1980s and 90s hardware with through-hole construction).
I downloaded the v4.67 software for the Dataman 48, but had issues on my Dell C540 laptop. Thanks to previous forum users I read this laptop only supports the parallel port ECP mode not the earlier EPP mode which the Dataman 48 (or the v4.67 software) requires - a check on the Dell setup menu confirmed this.
I dug out my old XP desktop which supports a EPP+ECP mode for the parallel port, and the software and programmer are now working fine - thanks!
I am now looking for a user manual. Not essential, but a nice-to-have. I see Advantech issued a Labtool-48 Users Manual, was there a Dataman version please or can anyone provide a scan? If it really adds nothing that the software help provides then please advise.
Regards,
John
