Using Zip Drives with the 2SP-PCI
Release Notes:
NOTE:The default input/output range for the 2SP-PCI card works with
Zip™ drives using new Iomegaware™ software.The instructions
"Connecting a non-printer device" given above apply to Zip™ drive
users using old versions of Iomegaware™.For best results withWindows
2000 and XP,we recommend downloading the latest "Iomegaware"
from Iomega.Additional instructions on optimizing Zip Drive
performance with the 2SP-PCI can be found at www.lavalink.com.
A. This documentation describes installing the 2SP-PCI on a
Windows95/98/Me/2000/XP PC.Instructions and software for DOS,
Windows 3.x,and Windows NT 4.0 may be found in the NT4.0
subdirectory of the 2SP-PCI card Installation diskette.Instructions for
Linux installation are available at www.lavalink.com.
B. Because the 2SP-PCI card uses PCI (not ISA) I/O address ranges,it will
never be seen by your BIOS at boot-up as a standard port even if the
address has been changed in Windows using the above procedure.
This is normal,and does not indicate a fault in your 2SP-PCI card.
C. The parallel port of the 2SP-PCI card will not work at address 0278h
or 0378h if it is installed in a PCI slot that is behind a PCI-to-PCI
bridge.If you have trouble installing the 2SP-PCI card,try seating it
in a different slot.
D. In standard installations ofWindows 2000/XP,the I/O address cannot
be changed to a legacy address.
E. Some devices (like external CD writers) default to "word mode" (ie:
16-bit data transfer) for fastest performance.Such devices need to
operate in "byte mode" (8-bit data transfer) to work with the 2SP-
PCI.Look in your device software for a "byte mode" setting,and
enable it.
