Dual Parallel PCMCIA Card (true EPP Port) Questions - IO-CBP220

• I have a legacy DOS application that I want to run within a HP laptop (Vista O/S) running MSDOS 6.22 within VMware. Will this device be recognized by Vista as being a "native" (i.e. built-in) Parallel port?
  • This card is seen as a true parallel port through windows. It generally works with most DOS based applications. Occasionally there are some applications that require the card to run on a certain set of I/O settings and may not work with this card. We have another PCMCIA parallel card that seems to have better support for different DOS applications. It is our Quatech Parallel PCMCIA Card. That one is more likely to work with all of your DOS applications.

• I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2530 laptop (Vista O/S) with no parallel port. I need to connect an OKI Microline 3321 parallel printer and work with some windows based applications. Which one of your products will be OK?
  • It looks like your Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2530 actually has an express card slot rather than the PCMCIA slot. You would need an expresscard adapter like the SW-8662

• I have a software application that requires a hardware key, which I have. The hardware key is a db25, the male end of the key goes to the computer’s female db25. I have no db25 on my Toshiba laptop computer. Can you tell me if I need a parallel or serial pcmcia adapter?
  • For DB25 you will need the parallel PCMCIA card. We do recommend you consider the Quatech Parallel PCMCIA Card, as the generic one has some compatibility issues and the Quatech usually yields better results.

• sir is this product would give 2 additional parallel port (lpt2,lpt3)
  • This part will give you two additional parallel ports and they can be assigned to LPT 2 and 3, if that is what you want.

• I need to add a parallel port to my Gateway laptop for a hardware key. I've tried the Quatech card, my computer recognizes the card but the software won't find the dongle. Will this card be any better?
  • Unfortunately no. The Quatech is far more successful with hardware keys than any other Card we've seen. You might try setting the com port of the quatech card to COM1 through the device manager, that sometimes fixes the issue.
