Step 1: Obtaining parallel port interface hardwareįirstly, i found that a parallel port to USB adaptor would not work, as these are designed for parallel port printers and do not have bidirectional comms. Make sure you use an anti static bracelet when installing the PCI card, and be careful when installing I did a lot of research on this and could not find a complete tutorial, just many dead ends.Īfter using several related tutorials (not specific to the iomega) i managed to find a way.ĭisclaimer: I'm not a software expert and I have limited knowledge with parallel ports/LPT devices (I'm 21 at the time of writing, so this is my first time using them), however I'm a Graduate Electrical/Electronic/Embedded Engineer so I have some knowledgeĪnd may be able to answer some questions.Īlso a prior warning: this tutorial shouldn't be too difficult, but I'm not responsible for any damage done to your computers if anything should go wrong. ![]() ![]() Just thought I'd share a tutorial as I recently managed to accomplish this.
